Here, Ryan takes advantage of the great
wireless network in the Oslo airport. In order to keep the laptop
battery from dying, he has to sit on the floor near an electrical outlet
he can plug into.

The tulips are up in the front gardens of
these homes in Brecon. If you look close, you can see the line of garden
gnomes on the lintel over the blue door.
|
 |
I love the color combinations of the houses
in Wales, highlighted by the bright black drainpipes.
|
 |
The trail we follow on our
rental bikes, goes along this canal for a few miles.
|
 |
For even more miles it goes along sheep like
this.
|
 |
Our B&B, the Grange, is next door to a
small church.
|
 |
The scenery, smells, and bird songs of Wales
are thrilling. I have to admit that we often find ourselves comparing
all this beauty to the computer game, Dark Ages of Camelot.

There are quite a few clearcuts visible from
the trail, but there are also really old tree farms like this one, with
deep mossy floors.
|
 |
The last leg of our 25-mile loop cuts across
this field with sheep and horses in it, up to the saddle on the right
and then down back into Brecon.
|
 |
Near the saddle, the odd clouds and strong
winds got us a little scared we might have to put on our raingear. But
we didn't. We just had to struggle on with our noodle legs and our
exhausted arms.
