Just spent a lovely half hour catching up on your travels. I now speak French! Wonderful photos and good to know all is humming along. Some beautiful sights. Laughed at the mole photo as our Ray has just returned from the Creuse (spelling?) and he sent us a picture of the mole holes in the lawn where he was staying. Stay safe and keep peddling. xx laurel [Laurel]

Bordeaux - Stop for GF Bread Pick Up
Dax - Local Supermarket - Sue loving the indoor tree (PomPom) and then taking a ticket in the Big Lottery - still awaiting results
So does Gerald get his own baguette? We avoided cycling the St Nazaire Bridge as it has a reputation for causing cyclists to wobble in high winds. Instead we found a little ferry at Pellerin which was free. Enjoying the photos. [Michael & Ann]
