The itch was scratched

It's been so many years that we have wanted to visit here. Started when the kids were small and never went away. So today we struck out on a 60 mile ride over the bridge from la Rochelle to the Ile de ré.
There is no doubt it is a beautiful place. And we have never been anywhere with so many cycle paths... Nor have we been anywhere with so many cyclists. ...families , tandems, tag alongs, stabilisers, trailers with kids/dogs/ provisions...
All a bit frustrating to get past ..... We were both glad when we got back to the bridge to get off the island.
It was a beautiful sunny day so shouldn't complain...
Nice omelette and a glass of wine when we got back to tranquil base.Read more
