For morning exercise I cycled all around the island very early this morning. This went a lot easier than I expected because the main road that circles the island is almost all at sea level. There are only a few hills on the way so it took me about three hours to go around the whole island. And since I had left very early I also was back early. At the yacht club I met the family who runs the club, and even though they speak only a little English and I only a little French, we had very good time anyway. Later they offered to show me some places on the island that are too tough to reach with my folding-bike. From the top of the mountain I have had a great view of Guppy. You can see all of Bora-Bora from up there, all the way to the surrounding islands. I have since tied Guppy to two of the club’s mooring buoys so everything feels perfectly safe again.I will bike around the island somemore tomorrow, a little strengthening of the muscles should’t hurt. Let’s see if I can manage to do it in two and a half hours…
