Mao of The Trip

Wednesday 7 September 2016

I've already lost track of the date and time

Luckily my computer hasn't.. It's the 7th of September and we're at a campsite just north of Toulouse. We've had a lovely few days cycling along the absolutely gorgeous Canal du Midi cycle path. Mostly very flat but with a fearsome headwind (thanks for the warning Jim...). Almost everyone else is cycling in the other direction. We also keep seeing people on boats, drifting along, super relaxed, sipping wine... It must be nice being on holiday. (Mum keeps saying: "This is not a holiday")



On Monday 5th (happy Pip), we had a bit of a rest day, ate a lot, washed some clothes, and had a look round Bordeaux which was a really great city IMO. Would love to live there. In the days before that we had more lovely cycling round the vineyards and along the coast. It's just a bit too hot. Which is worrying considering how much hotter it's going to get.. Had 4X more pain aux raisins than showers



Tomorrow we're going to head into Toulouse and then down towards Carcassonne.

  4. Riding into a hot headwind. I hope you are sharing the work and drinking enough! You seem to be making friends. Fabulous! I'm guessing that 'park runs' have ceased to be part of your itinerary? I'm glad! Just enjoy the journey which is quite enough of a challenge. Xx
