Day two we got up early and were picked up at the hotel to go on a dolphin watching cruise in the morning. We went way out in the Arabian Sea and finally found the dolphins. They were all over, but it was a challenge to get a good picture of them. After the dolphins, we squeezed in some pool time before heading out to the finish of stage four.
This was a long stage, with lots of wind and a few good climbs added in. The peloton was split into several groups and we got to see the riders do three laps before the finish. There were many more people than the day before and the finish area was lovely. Grass areas to sit down and lots of planters with flowers and palm trees. Much more like the experience we were expecting.
When the race was over, the guys stopped to grab a snack and a drink, then hopped back on their bikes and road the four miles back to their hotel. There wasn't much chance to mingle, so we watched the award assembly and headed back to the hotel for a nice dinner and turned in early....more exciting stuff on Day Three!
