... an hour into our journey more with the thought of going without rather than actual thirst) I began hoping for a town with a store so that I could buy a liter or 2 to get us through the day, but no. Finally, like a beacon from heaven there was a sign showing water for cyclists?!? I blinked…could this be true, or is it a mirage? It was true! Never seeing anything like this before in any town we’ve been through, I was extremely thankful it was ...

... booths have been helpful (when they&#8217;re open), but they usually are not. We&#8217;ve also been cycling almost through the various regions about 1 a day. So if I do stop for information it&#8217;s only for the one day and will not help us in planning the next as we&#8217;ll be out of the region&#8230;Had a little marital spat with Brian the other day about how routine our lives have become - LOL. <br>

Ok so I'm getting a bit behind in my blogs as I've arrived at my uni now and want to write about that. I am having a really good time and re-living being a fresher, which is kind of funny! I also have my laptop set up now - yay! So as a simple solution I'm going to tell you about the food I cooked by posting some photos of it ...

... at Steve's before hitting the road for Dover. Arrived about lunchtime and had a wander around town looking for supplies, namely midgie repellant and a french phrasebook (as yet the only thing I seem to have forgotten, and surprisingly difficult to buy in Dover!) After lunch we took a strole up the white cliffs for some great views over the port. The ferry wasnt till 4.15 so after some fish and chips a cheeky game of travel scrabble (we really are campervanners ...

This was<br>another disaster journey really. We started late after an extended chat with a couple from Ireland and set off under the command of TomTom taking a left out of the car park to our destination 40km away.<br>After two hundred metres TomTom found its feet and continued its reboot problem and we had resort to using GoogleMapping again. As GoogleMaps does not re-route we had to follow its directions to the letter.<br>Dutifully, and as ...

... LOL. Ok... maybe you had to be there... Another unique thing about La Rochelle is it's three towers - remanants of the town's fortification in the 14th centuary. They've been really well preserved - and walking through them is pretty amazing... especially the bigger of the two round towers. Walking around in them took up many hours, and i won't go into boring detail - but what can i say, the history was amazing - and all knowledge is worth having! ;) Another ...

... up right up to the chin. And there are chords, one around the hood to secure it, and one around the waist to add a little shape. There are also pockets, which will be great, and inside is a padded vest, which can come out! It is secured in with press-stud buttons! Wow!! Optional extra warmth! And how much did this fabulous vêtment cost me? Well, the price tag read 44&euro;98. So, what, $80 ...

... our shared dinner, a number of us went down to the beach, which is a 5 minute walk from our house. We spent a lovely evening, rugged up, sitting in a circle on the sand. I ended up lying down, gazing up at the stars, and vooosh !!! A shooting star ! I saw 3 that night. I am a little uncertain though ; one may have been a satellite ? I don't know, but one looked a little different to the ...

... miss big open landscapes ( NZ is mainly mountainous or at least very hilly). I still correspond with the people there. Great folks, some fantastic landscapes but a government with a chip on its shoulder and a near constant "mea culpa" feeling and display about their past misdeeds to the Maoris . With tourism being high on the island's income list it is understandable to be offered/ sold so many excursions but I did feel frustrated about having to ...
