From city to countryside

A beautiful day of bopping about. After riding through some lovely gardens, I stumbled across a busy neighbourhood cafe that enticed me in for a flat white. I then met a couple and their young child, we chatted for ages and they passed along some nice cycling-sightseeing recommendations. The morning’s route thus organized, I meandered until the midday sun hit and I found my way to the river. Fish jumping, smiling families, day racers in their flashy Lycra. Exploring the countryside is an exciting mix of small towns that, from their blooming centres and ancient churches, are clearly well loved yet always there are fantastically textured crumbling walls or a windowless husk of a building as a reminder of the effects of time. Monumental estates from aristocrats of the past are now tourist attractions and outdoor cafes. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.Okumaya devam et
