Day 1 June 4th 2017 47 miles

Arrived in Seattle yesterday evening and stayed at the HI hostel in Chinatown. We flew via Iceland, leaving Rekyjavic at 17.00 and arriving at 18.10. Just the hours changing.
     Am now in North Bend home of Twin Peaks, for those old enough to remember. We cycled from Seattle  along first rate cycle paths crossing onto Mercer Island via a bridge about three times the length of the Kessock bridge. Then used an old railway trail now turned into a cycle route. (a few roads as well). After our coffee stop at Issaquah we did an unplanned extra hill climb but no other navigation issues. Passed a grave yard of old steam engines and assorted rail  locomotives at Snoqualmie.
     Have just eaten in an American diner, should have ordered one meal between the two of us. Slimming must be an up hill struggle for the locals. Keith insisted on a motel tonight, but will camp tomorrow.
