We have a vegan breakast included in our rate and this is prepared by a top restaurant next door. It is one of the most ambitious breakfasts that I have ever seen given that it needs to cater for a couple of hundred guests and provide a wide choice. I take a plate and fill up from the salad buffet and order the vegan omelette. Candice takes the vegan pancake which is too thick and too sweet.
After breakfast, we walk around the city. The centre is being taken over for a gay pride and we walk through the city and visit some of the shops. I had wanted to see the new Customs House in the dock but we realise that the walk is too far and return to the hotel. We have tea and cycle to see some friends for dinner who live on the outskirsts of the city. Our trip out is complicated as we take the shortest route which is not best adapted to cycling. Our return is longer but simpler and ends with us riding along the main dyke.
