I’ve been taking more videos recently with my phone and finally put a couple of minutes of video together about this leg of the trip. I’ll add more detail here, but here’s the link YouTube – Perpignan to Narbonne Just something I’m playing with along the way.
Today’s ride on Komoot I had an easy start today and had breakfast in town at a popular coffee shop. Today is my last day in Spain. I’m heading to Perpignan in France over two hills and through some interesting countryside. I had hoped that the town clock in Figueres had been designed by Dali …
Today’s ride on Komoot The good weather was finished by morning and light rain had set in, so that is my excuse not to hurry. As if I need an excuse now. I can always find one though. I had the hotel breakfast and packed up. The lady at reception pressed a button to extend …
What a difference nice weather makes. Today is beautiful here in Bayonne. No clouds and a max of 19. It feels strange to wear shorts again. I’ve missed that. Since the first part of Wales, it’s generally been cool and wet I also miss the daily blogging. Although I’ve been more sociable while off the …
4 degrees at 8am again, so I was in no mood to hurry. My plan today was to ride to Melun then take a train into Paris. First, I rode to the small supermarket and got some goodies for breakfast, then found a spot in the morning sun, and sat down and made coffee and …
It was cold this morning, just 5 degrees at 8am. That meant that I wasn’t in a hurry to get going which meant the usual slow start. The campground here was very quiet but I left, well fed and with all devices completely charged. You can’t ask for more than that. I had made it …
This was another day of two halves. I had an apartment overnight, so I had a huge breakfast before leaving. As soon as I stepped out, it started to drizzle but I had to get some food for the day. Google suggested a Boulangerie around the corner – permanently closed. So, while searching for the …
Success ! All of my gear was dry this morning, the sun was out, I was warm, had breakfast and everything was good with the world again. Truth is, I would have been very happy if only half of those things had happened, so it was going to be a good day. I had breakfast …
After all of the bell ringing last night,I had a slow and sleepy start to the day. I rode through the town, looked around, tried another bike shop, found a bakery and a grocery store, loaded up and got going. The first ten or fifteen kms of the ride were again, just perfect. Then some …
Yesterday’s train problems meant that I arrived at the hotel at midnight. Ok, I bought a kebab on the way but it was still midnight and part of the time was spent manoeuvring the bike up three flights of narrow windy stairs. Breakfast was beautiful french bread and coffee. So nice, I didn’t want to …
