Cruising from Viviers to Tournon
Monday, October 22, 2012 Walking tour of Viviers/French language lesson/Tournon/Home-Hosted Dinner Last night we had a one man band entertaining us. He was really good and we had fun dancing to our oldies. We woke at 7 AM to total darkness outside. When we went to breakfast and looked out we were totally fogged in. At 8:45, when we began our walking tour of Viviera, the fog was eerie and beautiful. Fortunately it did not rain as we did our ...

What an experience - Tour de France
... what already, no-one off the back of the peloton??
We realise that everyone is on their way to the cars for a Le Mans start down the hill and home. We are slowed a little by a dutch guy who couldn't understand how we could be Australian and French number plates on our car??
I wont go into much more now other than to say the 2 hour outward leg, took 4 hour home
More tomorrow with Grant...but at the finish line and it is Bastille ...
