Day’s mileage : 31*
*we’re not counting this as part of our total though as we got to the border yesterday!
A slightly different post today after a rather different day!
We had a gentle, late start, leaving our excellent AirBnB at 11 with a total of 14 miles to go to our accommodation in San Diego. Shortly after leaving we bumped into the two bike packers from Canada we’ve met before – they were on their way to have lunch in Tijuana before returning home, all dressed up in their party shirts for their last day. We pootled up Coronado enjoying the ocean for the last time, had croissants sitting waiting for the ferry over to downtown watching dolphins playing, then spent a few hours trundling around the bike shops of the city to see if anyone would consider buying Liz’s bike. Eventually we found one – I had actually spoken to them last week but not had a response – so have now managed to sell both bikes which is a great relief. The shop was back out by the airport so we followed the same route as yesterday back into town, and then via a supermarket to our casita for the next two nights.
Finding homes for the bikes was the biggest unsolved piece of the overall logistical puzzle for this trip – now that is solved, we can start to think about everything else to be ready for our flight home on Sunday.
As a final comment for today, if you are able to support our charities we would be very grateful … you can get to our charity page here … and thank you to you if you have already donated!
