Fascinating Sunday

Robert persuaded me to go with him to the nearby Presbyterian Church and I'm glad he did. Received a warm welcome at door and given my name on a sticker. Inside Paster John was quickly greeting us and interested to hear I was from the 'Mother' country. Service totally different. Big screen with hymns and then headings about sermon. Much clapping during singing and after readings. Minister just in suit. Church was packed, a lot of men and young people. All curious about us and our travels. Do I live in Brecon,eh no...Very contempory service. I enjoyed it. Duller today. Wanted to go Downtown but no buses running. Maybe cycle later Still loving it....

A Day of Highs and Lows.......

Recovering from jet lag. Made two huge pancakes this morning but couldn't finish them. Too greedy. Decided to cycle to phone shop as having a few probs with mobile. About to set off when I noticed I had a puncture. Couldn't believe it and I haven't even started. Walked to bike shop and had it sorted. Guys gave me new tube for free when they heard my story. Nice. Cycled slowly to beach, watching traffic on WRONG side of road. Met Robert, fellow cyclist and we cycled out to lighthouse, 20 miles, stunning views. Huge military cemetary above the bay. Robert thought some 'significant' hills. He obviously hasn't cycled on Arran. Just pimples. San Diego is clean, scenic, vibrant. People extremely friendly and tolerant of nervous female cyclist. Must go, time for hostel BBQ.
