Another fairly scenic ride today, down from the hills onto the coast. Except for occasional not-so-pretty detours, when we lost the cycleway, it was fairly easy going and pleasant throughout. The skies started to cloud up for the first time since we started our bike trip, and some raindrops did make an appearance as soon as we checked into our B&B, right on the Front Street of lovely Tynemouth, on the eastern coast of England. Here, there was an energy of lots of tourists, taking advantage of the unusually good weather and sandy beaches, not to mention lots of great restaurants. On the recommendations of our proprietor, we ate an early dinner at the Longsands Fish Kitchen. Though mostly a good experience, I feel that they tended to undercook their seafood a tad.
Because… who can remember?
