Deer Haven

On Tuesday, we had excellent weather, so the plan was to bike to Deer Haven. Although we woke up a little bit earlier than the day before, we didn't really have to worry about time so much cuz the park wasn't going to close at 5.

Deer Haven is a park that use to belong to the Royal family and they use to hunt deers on their little holidays. It took almost 2 hours to cycle there and although I had the best bike, my ischial tuberosities (bony promineces of the butt) were really getting sore! It took us almost 2 hours to get there cuz we had to take breaks. The path was really beautiful since we were riding right next to the sea. Jenning was advising me to put my weight through my legs, instead of through the butt, but it was too late, cuz I did not have enough strength to put all my weight through my legs after a while.

When we went through the park entrance, we immediately saw a herd of deers, so Jenning went up to them and took some pictures. There was also a male deer that was making some kind of a call and I didn't feel too comfortable with getting close to it so we cycled on. We went on a path that led us to a huge house that was apprently where the gardener of the park used to live (I am not so sure about this cuz the house was pretty nice for a gardener!). This house was on a hill and you could see a lot of the park and the sea from it.

I had requested that we take a train back to G&K's place and when we got to the station, they only took coins and their credit cards requried pin numbers, which most North American cards do not have currently. I sucked it up and told Jenning that I would just cycle back, which I am glad I did cuz we got to see other parts of the city as we took a different route. Jenning even suggested for us to take an ice-cream break, which I think was his way of rewarding/encouraging me. I felt so tired after our bike trip that I wasn't able to do much else that evening.
