Andamos disfarcados de turistas em Windsor (ganhei uns bilhetes gratis para o Hop-on Hop-Off). As bicicletas sairam a rua pela primeira vez este ano, fomos ate Dorney Lake. No fim de semana da Pascoa fez calor, fomos ate a praia, Boscombe ao pe de Bournemouth, demos o primeiro mergulho do ano no mar.
