We both woke up tired as hell today after 500 miles in 6 days, felt like we hadn't gone to bed, and we were faced with many miles of increasingly busy and dangerous traffic (including the interstate and big bridges) as we worked into portland centre, so we decided to hire a car to get us through portland.
So we're chilling a little while in the hotel waiting for the hire car, and we'll have a sweet day in portland tomorrow too, before the final push from the western suburbs of portland to the ocean

hmm well the rental car people led us on a little and no cars are available today! Both pretty gutted as wanting to be in Portland today. Luckily the hotel we'd booked in portland took pity on us and let us cancel without charge. So bert has had a little chat to room service and now we have a couple of bottles of local wine sitting with us. Hopefully there'll be a car free tomorrow, if not I guess we'll ride close and get a car at the airport, or maybe get on the light railway thing, or maybe brave the traffic (least preferred option)
Oops - broken link, I'll try another:
Curious - why didn't you ride on the Washington (North) shore, rather than contemplate the Interstate on the South bank? I'm sure there's a good reason.
Just in case you are running out of legs, here's a taster of what lies ahead.
Not as pretty as the Barmouth Viaduct, but you just have to make the most of what you've got, sometimes!
hehe, I think it's all gone wrong. very wrong, a bit "fear and loathing"
I've just had a call from bert, who sounds like he has been drinking for Wales. He began with about 3 minutes of heavy breathing, before ranting about a tuc tuc that he had to ride himself, then called everyone a "costcutter".
"jaegermeister...hmmm"
"consider the winter! consider. the. winter!"
putting him on the speakerphone at work brought some strange looks when he launched into one of his schoolgirly high pitched giggles.
too much time in the sun I reckon :)
Bless!
