We ate breakfast and then headed out to the ferry - it's basically $10 for an adult and bike to go over to Seattle from Bainbridge and return - quite a good price. We needed to check the bike boxes at Amtrak and light rail line to the airport, and then we thought we'd visit the Arboretum and the Japanese Garden. The bike boxes at Seattle Amtrak seem just what we need and the light rail goes directly from the centre of town to the airport with no changes. So that is, we hope, solved. The journey to the Arboretum goes over a fair hill - and through a good chunk of urban Seattle. We opted for quieter roads on the way there - and after about four miles reached the Arboretum where we ate lunch in Chile (the plant zone) before pushing off to Japan to see the garden. It is a beautiful garden, with wonderfully twisting acers, as photo, the sun shining through the autumn coloured leaves, and running water underneath weeping willows, a lake with large koi carp and raked gravel paths with some artistically arranged viewpoints. There is a tea house but it wasn't operating today though goodness knows I could do with a proper cup of tea. The garden is near a busy road which detracts a little from the calmness, tranquility, you'd hope for. But perhaps that's just a challenge to the visitor to see how far an idyllic garden can enter into their soul. We then cycled through the entire Arboretum very slowly - there are cycle and walking paths. Not the best time of year for azaleas and rhododendrons, or magnolias, but the maples now have some autumn colouring, a few roses were flowering still, and there are a hundred different shades of green. We got to the edge of Lake Washington, put over the lake a freeway was buzzing, on stilts, and then headed very directly back to the waterfront (along Madison Ave) via a steep (1 in 5 I'd say) hill. Much quicker journey, modest and generally polite traffic. At the seafront I'd hoped to visit the Pike Street brew pub but we were running late and Pike Street itself was a bit depressing - the effects of drugs very evident, doped out men mostly, some lying down looking out of it, somewhere else, some drug apparatus lying around. A sad scene but one that is part of the current drug wave that has hit the USA hard. We caught the ferry, lots of bikes on the ferry, many electric, shopped at Safeway, headed back to our campsite. We were overtaken on a hill by a young boy and girl on electric bikes. I thought e-bikes were to assist oldies.... They hurtled into the distance. We are still here.
