Up at 6.55 to meet our 7am breakfast slot. Breakfast was amazing and we ate the lot from dried fruit to double bacon and eggs. All washed down with posh coffee - awesome. Packing the bikes was easy but it takes a little bit of time ... We started our journey about 8.30. We passed our friend's house, his kids school and his allotment. We got a little lost in Southampton due to road closures but after a little back tracking from the scary dual carriageway, all was good.

The last couple of days we have decided to rest, after a lot of hiking in the hills.

Early afternoon a walk into town for late lunch of a Kerela Meal (rice, curry, chutneys and papads) - refilled as many times as you like.  After lunch a walk around town. We found a pretty little temple we hadn't seen before.   Then, before heading back to base, tea and halwa.  A leisurely walk back to our accommodation.  More R & R before a light dinner and watching something on the internet. And rest ......!
