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

Tough day today; first it rained, then it poured. Finally, when the sun came out, the winds blew in off the sea! La Rochelle is worth a visit to see the back streets and restaurants along the harbour, especially lit up at night. Back in the rooms in Charron now, watching the stars and satellite spotting :-)

Second day on the road: instead of going straight to Bordeaux - where, according to plans, we were supposed to fetch Ada from the train station - we decide to take it easy and procede at a leasurly pace along the pretty roads of south-western France...we'll meet Ada tomorrow! Following our instinct, we end up at the end of the day in a gorgeous camp site by a small lake: very laid back, almost empty, and stocked up with cheap rose' wine...perfect with ...

Ce matin on s'est levé, on a manger le déjeuner et après on est allée à l'église et a midi on a pris le car pour revenir à Niort. Quand on est descendue du car c'était 19h00 du soir. La personne qui venait nous conduire à la maison s'est trompé de place. Après ca, elle nous a trouvé. On a seulement arrivé a la maison à 20h30. On a regardé le rugby et la France a gagné contre la Nouvelle Z ...

Ce matin on s'est levé à 9h00 et on a mangé déjeuner, et après on a acheté des fruits et des cartes pour écrire à ma famille et mes amis. Demain on va y allers à Lourdes. Translation: Thie morning we got up at 9:00 am and ate breakfast, and after we bought some fruit and some post cards to write to my family and my friends. Tomorrow we are going to Lourdes.

... I received a very sad phone call from Victoria at the end of her day. Sunday was spent traveling about an hour to a party, with the prospect of meeting many children. Unfortunately there was only one child, and lots of old people. To make it worse, she was served clams for lunch. Oh no! Anyone who has seen the latest Mr. Bean movie can appreciate how Victoria felt as she looked at those slimy things on the table! Jet lag is keeping her from feeling well-rested, and this is ...

... computer that hasn't been friendly to this kind of thing, but this should be rectified for the current entries soon. Have uploaded about 10 entries in the last couple of days - if you have read these, keep a look out for when they have a 'recently updated' status in the future and that will mean we have uploaded some photos. Until then, words will have to do sorry. Are about to leave our home away from home in France ...

Well hello from La Rochelle! A beautiful town on the western coast of France, north of Bordeaux. We ended up here at random after deciding to travel south....and what a great place. The old city is enclosed by castle towers and a wall. It is surrounded by acres of awesome sailboats and tourists - mostly families and older people. Due to its popularity camping was full so we had our first hostel experience...and all we can say ...

I´m in Lourdes today. For those who may not know much about this town, Lourdes is considered to be a place of miracles. The story goes that Mary (Mother of Jesus) appeared to a girl named Bernadette over 30 times. A spring gushed out of this cave and was confirmed by the Vatican that it has a miracle healing power. This happened around ...
