Camping on The Isle of Wight

My latest bicycle touring update, cycling in England, in Brighstone. Guess what? I had another lazy day and stayed put. I really was being lazy today. There was no excuse for staying, apart from the fact that I quite like it here.

I was expecting to be in a bit of pain today. As I was hurting quite a bit yesterday and last night. But I woke up okay this morning. I even went for a walk on the beach. And that’s a steep walk to get to from the campsite. Mind you, I did increase my nerve blockers last night, so maybe that helped. And maybe it is my slipped disc that has got worse. Either way, it was quite nice to be relatively pain-free today.

After visiting the beach, I went for a walk around the campsite, taking pictures of the many animals they have here. And that’s about it for the day. Who knows what I’m going to do tomorrow? But at the time of writing this, I’m heading home.
