... our cheese (of course), but had cassis instead of wine for a change. We also had a little friend - a feral cat decided to come and play around my bike.

Stopped a little early of our goal this evening as there was a campground on route. Not having any reference as to what may lie ahead makes things a bit more complicated. Every night is a bit of a gamble of: do we stop now or do we risk it? Some tourist ...

My drive back up to France was mostly uneventful, although I appreciated the mountainous and green scenery for the first hour or so as I worked my way from Urretxu up to the border. I will say that driving along the highways of Europe is a much more orderly and smooth process than in the States. No driver uses the left lane unless he/she is passing, and does so very quickly, returning to the right lane usually after passing just one car. Also, when moving into the ...

This was
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.
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.
Dutifully, and as ...

... getirmek icin sandwich hazirlama, aksam da cok ilginc bir yemek yoksa manavdan elma veya bir yerde salata. Fakat aralarda yedigim dayanilmaz abur cuburlar (ozel cikolatalar, waffellar, yoresel biralar, istridyeler gibi) programi biraz bozuyor. Ozet: Aslinda ne bulursam yiyorum, sonrasinda saatlerce bisiklet, yuruyus ve hamallikla eritiyorum :)

At least its in Cognac and I get to stay in St Martial, where you get classical music and home made cakes for breakfast. All that in a castle! I think I am going to regain all the little weight lost camping in Oz very very quickly as I am back to the routine of restaurant every day....

... the Champs de Mars. Alas, I did not find Francois Premier Lycee nor the Chat Noir which were Melissa's hangouts but I did at least get a small feel for the town. We then had great difficulty getting out of the town and onto the right road for Cognac. After some frustration and driving in circles we eventually made our way to this famous town. However, frustration again set in when we found, after ...

Possibly a bit useless creating a travel blog after seven months of that other blog. This site is actually quite a bit better! More inspirational, detailed, travel-centred and easy to use. Must tell Ellie about it. France is awesome. www.hollj.blogspot.com

... risotto I cook for supper. Relaxing after a long and hot day behind the steering wheel, I look at the set up that we've come up with for Monty the Land Rover and am pleasently surprised that it all works so well...all our things, tidy and conveniently placed...Claire and I really have an awesome snail house that we've already made into a home. We don't miss our old house in London, who needs walls when you have wheels! More on this topic soon, stay tuned.

Cognaci piirkonda kuulub suur osa Charente piirkonnast kuni Atlandi ookeani rannikualadeni ning mõned piirkonnad Dordognes ja Deux-Sèvres. Kindlasti sealsed 19 500 elanikku on suured konjakisõbrad - kogu kohalik tööstus on koondunud konjaki tegemisele. 80 000 hektaril asuvates viinamarjaistandustes kasvab 15 000 istikut, mille produktidest toodetakse konjaki tarvis valget veini. See aeglaselt küpsev ...
