Friday 15^th June.

What a superb day, after a wonderful “last supper” with our hosts Kathy and Alfonso last night; an evening of good food, good wine, good music and great company, we took out leave of them this morning to start our run down towards Greece. We have a little over 4 weeks before the Horizons meeting at which both Joel and I are due to present. So no rush or pressure, time for a gentle meander across the south of France, stopping wherever the fancy takes us.

Taz and Joel really are great, stress free travelling companions with wonderful  senses of humour, I cant remember when I last laughed so much ! Our days run was only about 240 Km but the roads were supeb, twisty and up and down the mountains. I really wouldn’t have wanted to travel faster, not least I wouldn’t have had the chance to see so much of the scenery. Tonight we are camping on the edge of Provence and tomorrow we head further across towards Italy but it may take us the rest of the week as we take in the sights and ride some of the smaller roads through the hills and mountains.
