Wonderful, but…

It was superb. Fab food, guides, boat. One thing I hated was the lack of independence that goes with biking in a crowd. At times I like to photograph some objects that don’t interest the others. Twice the “sweeper guide” told me to get moving so I don’t hold up the group; I still took my photos but felt rushed and those fotos did not turn out well. Frequently, I yearned to get going while others were still eating lunch. Then when they all were ready to get moving I was feeling like having a nap or rest. On the last day of the cruise I found out I could have ridden more independently! This brings me to another situation; emails from the company went to only some of my group. Despite all that, it was wonderful!
