Refreshed from a comfortable night in the Marina Motel and a good breakfast a few blocks (a mile actually in the wrong direction!) away at Calico cafe, we found our way out of the town and eventually on to the Centennial bike trail ( a 1989 Rails to Trails project ) which took us a lot of the 55 miles to our pre booked motel in Marysville. A slightly difficult route to negotiate from trail to motel avoiding heavy traffic but we got there by 6 .
A delightful and relatively traffic free day’s riding.
Dinner at a Coconut King restaurant across the road and about to spend our 2nd night in luxury. Just as well we didn’t start off that way. Still 50 odd miles to North Seattle, but even with a south wind against us again, that shouldn’t be a problem.

Pic 4 A garden that drew our attention at our morning coffee stop in Conway.
That pretty well wraps up the blog posting. Maybe I can persuade Mary to summarize the highs and lows of the trip? I have! All highs though I think. She’s forgotten already about those testy hills and our snoring camp neighbours!
