We had very high winds during the night, and we were glad we had chosen a sheltered spot, but in spite of that we slept well, and the bruises were not so painful to lie on, although that could have been du
e to the Motrin. We timed our departure to coincide with the opening of the grocery stores, as we needed bananas and snacks which we could not buy yesterday as stores were closed on Sunday. What with poor cell phone reception and Sunday closing, this is a truly civilized part of the world.
One small hill of a few meters then we were up onto the prairie and rolling along better than we have done for many days although that does not mean much.
We were in Shaunavon before 11:00am having passed through a much more populated area with farms and ranches and while there is agriculture everywhere the new money is in oil. This is exemplified by the first two motels we tried being full. The tourist offi
ce is beautiful, and there are some exhibits there worth seeing, but it is overstaffed by young women who do not understand their job requirements.
We got well fed at Chequers Café, then essentially retired to our room to catch up with the blog etc.
The dining room at the Kings Hotel bar is more than good, and the waitress,
Penny, is a joy to watch as she works her magic on 40 men away from home with pazzaz and control.
That’s it for today, All the News that’s fit to Blog. Night, Night.
Average 19.5kph,
Todays climb 150m,
Todays distance 38km
Total Distance 3828km.
Note that I will no longer record total height as it is too much trouble to set the machine, ie I keep forgetting. If you are a stats person the average height climbed is just about 1/3% of distance travelled.
