Day 18: Breakfast for $1.79 and overpriced "guesthouse"

Day 18     10/7     Waterford to Albany     15 miles

It's not everyday that you can buy breakfast for $1.79: eggs, toast, and coffee.  It's even better when the "regulars" are playing pool at 9 a.m. in the morning.





As you can see, we're at the "confluence" of the Erie Canal, Champlain Canal, and the Hudson River.













Mary Louise pedaling strong toward Albany.  The trail is paved and mostly next to the river.  People are using it, but it's still not too crowded.











It says 360 miles, but I'm sure it was a lot more.










We stayed in a funky State Street Mansion "Guesthouse."  This is the only place we stayed on the whole trip that I would recommend AVOIDING!  Mary Louise and I had no heat for awhile and Bob and Glenda had a prolonged domestic battle above them in the middle of the night.  Not to mention, the "breakfast" promised never showed up.  We did get a $20 rebate when I called, but I should have asked for a lot more.

The "city" is always nice and Mary Louise and I wandered the streets looking for our favorites: ice cream and beer.  We found plenty of both.  We had a great dinner at the "Wine Bistro," which even had a nice outside courtyard that was perfect.
