We came all this way into Robin Hood country and couldn't find the Sheriff of Nottingham when we needed him. Sharif from Airbnb had to do when we landed up at our DISGUSTING accommodation. I am sureWeiterlesen
Reisender We’ll done both of you for getting thus far. Different route this time? Rings the changes. I’ve used Travelodge with my bike. They get a bit funny if you clean your bike in the room, which I heard has been done, but not by me.
Reisender Yep. We're crossing over the Midlands and heading up.the East Coast to Edinburgh. Oily carpets must be a pain to clean.

I couldn't even remember what day it was today. It's just a routine of breakfast, cycle, arrive, shower, eat, sleep and do it again.
Free cherries today Mandy!
