6.10am The first few km were a steepish ascent up onto a plateau but then after that it was a level or slight descent through a rocky, forested landscape with almost no one around. When I got the camera out to take this photo a crane or stork that had been just in the pool you see flew off and my camera/phone was too slow loading to get it.

I took this photo at 11.00am and I'm having lunch, I was so hungry but then, when it came to it I could eat very little. This salad was nice but the main course, some sort of turkey and mushrooms in a creamy sauce I just couldn't eat. But I'd not had breakfast so I guess I needed something.

11.53am and maybe this is the river at St Ambroix but I'm not at all sure, it was just a nice stretch of water.

12.06pm I am really starting to appreciate how nice it is to just cruise along easily on the flat. It's starting to get warmer, not just as the day wears on but as I get further south.
