Homeward Bound





This will be the last instalment in the blog - just to let you know how we got home! On Sunday we travelled by train to Lunels which was an interesting experience (see Shirley sitting amidst the bikes which were hanging on the train). After this we cycled to stay with our friends Yvonne and Graham Paddy in their beautiful townhouse in Aigues Mortes. This is a wonderful old walled city in the Camargue. We motored round the canals in their boat and even saw two Camargue horses in full flight. We are staying with the Paddys until Tuesday morning but on Monday we collected a hire car from Montpelier airport. We were trying to drive to Roscoff and take the ferry across from there to Plymouth where our car is but no car hire company will allow us so we are driving to Le Havre on Tuesday and getting the ferry from there to Portsmouth on Wednesday and David will collect us from there.

  1. Great you two! Congratulations again, and thank you for introducing us to this part of France. We knew that France is bicycle-friendly, having occasionally followed the Tour de France. But bicycle-hooks in the train - wonderful! France leads the way. We wonder how long it will take for other countries to catchup. Jeremy and Vivian.
