Saint Ives

Today is the day! The first day on our mega Europe Trip, it’s all very surreal today and nothing has sunk in but it’s fantastic to be riding together again after many of months of not seeing each other.

We’re on the ferry now, all snuggled up in our bunk beds, Chez is on bottom bunk and I’m on the top. The weather has been kind for our first day, not too hot and not too cold. After saying a big goodbye to Mama and Papa Chez and Dunphy, we hit the A roads to Harwich, 2 hours of fighting strong head winds and squaring off tyres on endless duel carriage ways.

Once at Harwich we found a pub with some lovely locals, a cozy place where it felt as though everyone knew each other. With our heavily laden bikes parked outside we had a quick drink before heading to the ferry.

Here’s to the beginning of our travels!
