In the morning we had breakfast in the hotel and then went for a walk around the local area before going to collect Margaret from the airport. It was great to see her! We drove back to Coronado and had a delicious brunch at Frenchies. Then we picked up some bikes from the hotel and went for a ride. This was terrifying because we quickly realised that the bikes did not have any brakes! So there I was wobbling around on the road with no brakes and cars going past! We made our way down to the promenade at the ocean which was carless and therefore much less scary, and we found out that you could slow down and stop the bikes by gently pedalling backwards. We then cycled for a couple of miles along the Coronado cycle path. The good things about it were beautiful views and no traffic, the bad things were it wasn’t beside the sea and was rather straight and monotonous, following the road. I was also very thirsty because I hadn’t taken any water with me. Still, it was nice to be back on a bike and we enjoyed ourselves. After some cool drinks in a café we went down to the beach and James went for a walk while Margaret and I lay on our beach towels and chatted. It was a gorgeous sunny afternoon.
Later we had a very upmarket dinner in a French Restaurant where the waiters were so attentive that one of them came over when he noticed that I wasn’t drinking my pineapple juice very fast, to see if I liked it! The food was wonderful and we had a great evening.
