had the rest of the week off after the exams and made the most of the downtime. didn't realise i'd been on the go for over a month and holidaying in such hard work ;) it'd been awhile since i last went to the river so on tuesday night i went to bed without setting my alarm (such a luxury!) and woke when i wanted on wednesday. moseyed over to the water and walked up and down the banks. was last there when the manfriend first settled me in and we'd dinner at the quayside on one of his last nights. this time, i brought my trusty moleskine (thanks carol!) to jot down what looked like interesting cafes and bars. it was a lovey brisk morning, with just enough cloud cover to keep my freckle phobia at bay.
was back in my flat by lunch time because the cleaning lady was coming but soon got a text from G, who was doing some walking of her own! turns out she'd just walked across the bridge and was in the city centre killing some time. mentioned that i'd passed the bridge during my morning jaunt but didn't cross it and she offered to walk with me. helps that we both enjoy long walks! back to the water and across the bridge this time. we were rewarded for our industry by this charming little cafe on the other side where we stopped for coffee. chatted with the fit fijian former rugby world cup player who opened it, and he gifted us with half a dozen italian cookies :) sweet!
