Day 3

One of the toughest days on a bike, but also the most adrenaline fuelled. Visited old slave trade forts before setting off, quite biblical views of the boats, fishermen and structures not much different to how they would have been hundreds of years ago. Then 20km heading out of town along dusty roads, then the adventures start. 20km along an old railway track with the path only room for one bike. A few thin bridges pretty high up above the rivers. A few beautiful off road sections through the trees. The distances were estimates and we hit our lunch spot 3 hours late. The food truck was stuck on the road and not able to get to us so we had to sit pretty tight for 8 hours or so. Made friends with a few locals though.
