Had a very enjoyable dinner with Val,John, Simon and Sophie. Many different wine tastings throughout evening. Woke to sunshine again and thought it was about time we did some kilometres. John was going to cycle with us to the first major turn off but unfortunately we had to leave him by the roadside with his bike in a ditch as he had a puncture. We waved goodbye and thanked him for a glorious visit. Today's photograph shows us crossing the Loire River which has been the first major milestone on the trip. We have now left the maize fields behind and have moved into sunflower fields and vineyards. In fact tonight we are staying in Vallet,the capital of the Muscadet region - what could be nicer on a warm evening after a long hot cycle. Weather getting hotter but hope everyone reading this is enjoying the same weather.

Are you sure that you are cycling? Looks a lot like your old Renault Clio crossing the bridge behind you.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are enjoying the sunshine, the weather is getting hot here too and sunny.
ReplyDeleteAu revoir xxx
Yes, David I agree with you. It definitely looks like the old Clio! Perhaps that's how you managed 84km! Only kidding, it's the only way I'd be able to do 84km. Very proud of you both and everyone at school can't believe what you're doing. I just tell them you're crazy!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible adventure. Sounds a fantastic trip. Bonne chance! Love Jim and Cathie
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the familiar golden mast of Maverick behind AS? Just how many forms of transport do you need for this trip?
ReplyDeletePS Andy Murray is through to the third round of the US Open and cruising.
