Breakfast of salmon, rice and pickles, in the common eating house, followed by a wonderful ride down a most picturesque valley, followed by mountain passes in zero temperatures, extinct volcanos, snow and ice, hardly biking weather but beautiful.
That night a harbour cruise. I am allways reminded of a very wry fellow called Tony Ward who once claimed that you do not go to a revolving restaurant for food, its the view you are there for. I was reminded of this on the river boat where the food was hastily consumed because we were late arriving ( the days route was not so well planned) but from the inside of a boat it is very difficult to see anything. I am sure the city was very picturesque from the river but will remain undiscovered by our group.
