We are reading this in Angers, April 2024. Heading for Death Ferry now. Wish us luck!
4 days agoThanks for earnestly sharing your impressions. I think the best blogs are the ones that explain what the author is thinking.
2 years agoAn admirable list of chores done! Despite all efforts, we find a new phase now sets in: The pared down and efficient organization of all your stuff begins to decay. Things spread out, or get repurposed. With me the electronics are worst. Cables and chargers and phones and power banks spread all over the place. But then there will be more fun trying to "get the band back together" in advance of the next trip!
2 years agoC’est chic!
2 years agoA great post, and a great journal. Thanks for taking us along!
2 years agoSo great that you met up with Susan again. She’s ubiquitous!
2 years agoConsidering your determination, I almost expected you to make one last mad dash on your bikes from Bordeaux to Paris. Glad you didn't.
What a train ride! We, too, have had many nerve frazzling train-with-bike adventures in France. Yours is a good one for a potenial collection!
How nice that you could meet Susan again. Looks like you had a lovely evening.
Gripping prose! I took time out from watching the 1998 disaster movie Armageddon to read it. Your story ended well. I'm off to see if the earth gets destroyed in the movie!
2 years agoGlad you find the journal entertaining! It is always my hope that the people we connect with wonder from time to time how we're getting along. This is one way to satisfy that curiosity.

Here is the book

so nice to read your blog every morning.
Good spotting! Somehow I looked for a long time before seeing him.
2 years agoIt’s a wonderful route all the way to Bordeaux. Enjoy it!
2 years agoI’m not surprised Ev5 takes an inland route to Sete; the coast route, which we experimented with, is quite difficult to find. We felt lucky to make it through at all and we’re getting seriously worried. Most of the Highway east of Sete is closed to bikes (with good reason), as is that canal-side path I think you’re referring to. Our experience: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/sete2017/to-sete-end-of-the-line/.
Hey - we both arrived in Sete on October 18th!
Oh yeah, of course water level would be a factor! Hadn't thought of that.

Godspeed! Bring a coin for the ferryman, and don't pay until service is rendered!
