That ended up being an exciting day! I'm sure you slept well.

Isn't it a warm feeling inside to know humanity is still kind?

Did you save one for a sad souvenir?

Ah, more momentary panic. I went to my messages - I always say we are arriving by bicycle. My reply from the Kyraid said we can park the bikes in the luggage room or their inner courtyard. That is satisfactory to me. Thank you for stopping by. I sent you an email. Did it arrive?

She LOOKS relatively benign!

There are times on a tour when we really miss the facilities of a fully equipped kitchen. This would be one of those times.

The car came with its own challenges, as you will see, but it really was the best decision and we don't regret it. (much)

I have to say, I'm having a blast on my trip, but I'm a little bit jealous!

I agree with Karen!

Sad, but true.

Pink asparagus! I want some!

Glad that you gave yourselves a break, and live to ride another day. Continue to make sure you enjoy it!

A good host can make all the difference! Glad it all worked out.

That was a pretty tough day! The lovely host at our accommodation was waiting for us when we pulled up. He was actually getting quite concerned, but of course we were fine.

For your next visit, check out the luberon, just to the north and east of Avignon. I was just there a couple weeks ago. Fantastic cycling on roads with like one car per hour. And plenty of little villages where one can have a coffee and lunch. Have a great rest of your trip!

That rain in Spain was insane. We hit lots of flooding around Huelva, and had to divert at one point. It stayed unsettled for a week more and was very windy. It was 23 C in Copenhagen at the same time we “enjoyed” 12 in southern Spain. You guys had an adventure to remember!
