Despite cycling a similar distance to yesterday, today's route included fewer hills (a big factor when you're loaded up) so was somewhat easier. After 12 miles we stopped for a delicious breakfast and were talking about the fundraising total so far (which now includes a generous £30 donation from Annie - thank you Annie!). We were sitting next to an American couple who must have been listening to our conversation and looking at our Unicef cycling tops. Just as we were about to leave they said they would like to support our fundraising by picking up our breakfast tab (about $30)! That's typical of our experience of the people here - very friendly and supportive. So, thank you Mike and Kathy - I will put the $30 onto my Justgiving site as soon as I can get a good connection. And thank you also to Steve and Bob for their $25 donation. We met them at the ferry terminal at Sydney Harbour as we were waiting for the ferry to San Juan Island. They were on a cycling trip too.
We camped at another state park in Florence last night with hot showers (again! I'm getting spoiled!). The Adventure Cycling group we met last night were there too and we all ended up eating in the same restaurant in the town which served delicious fish. We also met two other couples (one British couple from Cornwall) camping next to us in the hiker/biker section so we swapped cycling stories.
Having a lie in tomorrow (8am!) and an easier day - my legs need to recover if I'm going to complete this trip!
