By Scott:After a morning of work Katie and I took our first real long bike activity ride yesterday. We filled up our water bottles and made the six mile trip out to Bodden town on The Queen's Highway that circles the island. We stopped at the public beach and went swimming. The beach was nice but the ground was way too rocky and there was strong wave activity and currents so we pretty much have struck that beach from our list. The above picture is of the Bodden Town public beach. On our way back we decided to go down Beach Bay road off the highway and look for a beach Katie had read about. This is one of the rich neighborhoods and the houses were incredible. About a mile off the highway we found a pristine beach with what looks like a great swimming area that we will try today. We biked back to the highway and then back toward Newlands. We stopped off at the Domino's in Savannah and found out they had a carry out special. So we biked to Elsa's in Newlands and borrowed the van to go back and get a pizza. Our total bike trip was about 16 miles round trip and we were exhausted. Whatever else we may become, in shape is definitely one of them at this pace. Our librarian had the first two seasons of "House" on DVD, a series Katie and I started watching in the advice of her friend Jennifer, so we watched a couple of episodes while we ate the pizza. We are going out again today more to keep the stiffness from setting in, though we are looking forward to trying the beach we found.
