Day 31
... Hotel. This is the smallest room we have had on tour, but that is to be expected when you get back into a big city. They had a fitness room so I got on the bike and did a bit of cardio. Noone showed any interest in doing anything so Maggie and I headed out to have a wee look around. She was very keen to get a "on tour' tattoo so we scoped out a tattoo parlour and popped in, got an appointment for the next morning at 10:00 then went out for dinner. Moicahel ...
