Surprisingly we had a good nights sleep on our cots and with our sleeping blankets. We haven’t slept on the cots since Spain, over four months ago. Justin came by to say goodbye and after we had breakfast we headed up to the apartment to say goodbye to Marina. We had a nice chat to her about her work and she gave us some chocolate balls – they were awesome, recipe is on her website.

Again it was a cold start to the day. But the sun warmed me up and I changed jackets to my lighter windbreaker, before we left the city limits of Tallahassee.

It was a lovely ride, the first 40 kms or so were rolling hills. We went through a really nice town (Quincy), with some historic buildings. I must remind Ralf to stop and take some photos. They weren’t spectacular buildings, but still nice.

He did take a photo of this forest covered in Spanish moss. I bet it looks amazing in a fog, very scary.

We cycled for about 20 kms on a flatish road almost all the way to Chattahoochee. Then the road kicked up and climbed a hill into Chattahoochee, what a way to finish a ride.

We are staying at a cheap motel in Chattahoochee. There is a large hospital here but not much else. We did find a little grocery store for our dinner and once again cooked in the room.
