Cycle city

Bikes galore.  This place is full of Olga's with pigtails cycling everywhere.  Picked up Ali's bike this morning and went on a wee tour of the city to find the swim start that he will be at on Saturday at 9am and me on Sunday at 5am!  This city is geared for bikes but it is difficult to work out who has got right of way, bikes, pedestrians or cars.  The answer is taxi's (just like home) so I did have a few choice words with one taxi driver who was ignoring the pedestrian crossing - turned out he spoke perfect English!  Off for some lunch and then away to meet up with the Athelite crowd and take the opportunity of a quick swim in the lagoon.
