Amanda and company are totally adorable and fantastic hosts, by the way. I have definitely been well-fed, and this place would be perfect if it weren't so damn far from civilization. They have fresh tomatoes, apples, grapes, pears, pumpkins, eggs (yes they have chickens), and other delights that I'm sure I'm forgetting. For the first two days it was great to unwind and relax ...

... 3 countries, twice) until she had a eureka moment that relieved both her and me (she was looking a bit dodgy); I'd stopped and was taking my drink first (I carry it, I drink first) and she was laying on the floor panting frantically when the panting stopped. I looked down and her eyes were fixed on where my mouth met the bottle, her tongue licking her lips and when I poured the water into my hand this time she drank it happily and with ...

So a pretty basic day. After a few miles of cycling we climbed up the stairs under an overpass for a nice sheltered spot for lunch (obviously because it was raining... again). Fortunately, the rain stopped and the sun came out in a big way (bigger than if Bear Grylls came out).

We cycled a stupid distance as ...

We woke up to find that we had left the food on from the night before. Well, all isn't lost because we had an excellent breakfast. Although, the race was on to leave the hotel before anyone realised that there was a couple of litres of fat down the side of the hotel and on the balcony below.

Massively hungover we left with high hopes but little gain because after a few hours we were ...

... to the pilot. I guess Ryan Air never heard of Technology ! I missed the queue by 10 minutes !. I had to go get in another line that had about 60 other people from the bus in it ! Ryan Air only had 3 people working the queue, they are not very accommodating. If I wanted to go to France, I had to buy another ticket ! I explain to them about the fatalities on the train.

... probablement sur les troubles alimentaires et le monde qui se trouve trop gros". WRONG!
