      la deuxième semaine

      27 de abril, França ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Le temps passe très vite, deux semaines se sont déjà écoulées. J'apprécie beaucoup mon séjour à Bordeaux, c'est une très belle ville. Je me suis fait beaucoup de nouveaux amis et nous allons souvent faire du shopping. L'école est un peu ennuyeuse parce que nous avons déjà fait toute la grammaire à l'école cantonale, mais quand nous ne faisons pas de grammaire, c'est intéressant. Par exemple, le vendredi, nous avons écrit un poème. Pendant ces deux semaines, nous avons fait de superbes excursions avec l'école. Le week-end dernier, nous avons visité la dune du Pilat et cette semaine, nous avons fait une croisière en bateau.Leia mais

      South toward the trail

      17 de junho de 2022, França ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

      It was a confusing and tense morning of ticket and train matching. What would have been a simple fix in the old days of lots of station masters who can answer questions is now just a guy you wait in line for an hour to talk to who has no power to touch a Eurrail pass. I think God solved the problem for us. I think. 🤔 I activated our passes but according to my app it called my activation date my first day of travel (we get four) That leaves us one day short. I had reservations to get on the train today and I had activated the passes yesterday but my misunderstanding of what “activation” meant has us messed up. They say on the trail “the Way” will provide. The ticket collector was satisfied with the reservation tickets and didn’t actually check my Eurrail pass. That gives us back a day. The Way did provide. (Before you think I’m getting too mystical, read John 14:6. That’s my understanding of The Way.)

      So now we are getting out of the city on the TGV going 300 km/hr for a smaller, slower town. Jon and I have never been to Bordeaux and since the train from Paris to St Jean ran though here anyway we decided to get off and look around. Paris, a city known for style and fashion was hard for me with my three practical zero fashion hiking outfits and no makeup or styling products. I’m sure I looked like a homeless person to them but on the trail I think I’ll fit right in.

      I think the whole world is in a heat wave right now. It’s 104 F in Bordeaux. Yuck. It will cool off before the hike but it will also be rainy. Hmmmmm. Which is better?!

      On the upside, our two rooms in the Hilton are luxurious compared to that one room in the hostel in Paris. (These were way cheaper too!)

      I also saw another couple that was dressed like us- probably other Camino hikers. Slobs unite!

      We went to the old town of Bordeaux which turns out was settled by the Romans. I drank from an ancient Roman well (I’m sure the water was fine) and we stumbled on a cathedral that was built in 800’s. No… not 1800’s! My bucket list thing was to put my 104F feet into the Miroir d eau.

      Considering Europe is known for their lack of ice and tepid beer I’m surviving considerably better than I’d have thought. I just really want an ice cold water though.      Leia mais

      Travel day

      8 de maio de 2022, França ⋅ ⛅ 50 °F

      We left Paris today and headed to Bordeaux, France. It’s about 35 miles from the western coast. We took a high speed train for the trip and It definitely felt much faster than any US train I’ve been on. We were greeted at the train station in Bordeaux by a stairway, with of all things, a picture of Multnomah Falls painted on the steps. We couldn’t believe it!! No explanation - just the pic.

      We got to our Airbnb and then headed downtown to explore a bit. I wasn’t sure what we’d find here, but so far, as always I’m amazed at the wonderful sites we stumble upon.

      We just wandered today, but what we found was SO beautiful. The old streets, buildings, alleys are so quiet and peaceful. The vibe of the city is so laid back and enjoyable. Eventually we laid down in a grassy park, in the shade and took a nap with hundreds of others doing the same. We had hand scraped snow cones and we eventually found the “Miroir d’eau”. It’s on the riverside and is the largest mirror in the world - 3450 m sq - made of water. Hundreds of kids and families were playing in it. The mirror area would fill up - maybe 4-6” - and then start draining leaving a thin film of water on the black concrete. And then magically, it would reflect EVERYTHING! It was absolutely gorgeous - and refreshing to walk around in. This was a great start for our short time here.      Leia mais

      Last day in Bordeaux

      10 de maio de 2022, França ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

      Our last day in Bordeaux was unique - we went to La Cite du vin, which is a wine museum!! It was a really modern museum that took you thru everything to do with wine that you could think of, and ended with a tasting on the top of the building overlooking the city. Was a very cool experience.

      Then we headed over to Bassin de Lumieres for a one hour show. This was absolutely incredible! This exhibit is very hard to describe. It was works of art, paintings, graphically set to music and somewhat animated - displayed over the water, and on all the walls and floor in an old MASSIVE submarine bay from WW2. The French have done a remarkable job of repurposing old buildings. This literally brought me to tears at one point, as it was almost overwhelming to all the senses. The videos and pictures won’t do it justice. It was absolutely mesmerizing.

      We also walked by the most amazing wine store I’ve ever seen. Three stories, straight up, all displayed on a spiral staircase. It caught my attention.

      Finished the evening hanging around a Starbucks (to use their wifi to plan our next city), and then had wine, bread, cheese and meats for dinner sitting outside at a cafe. Beautiful night.      Leia mais

      11 de maio de 2023, França ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Vanochtend zag het er donker uit buiten... omdat het hier nogal eens snel kan gaan regenen heb ik geen risico genomen en dat was maar goed ook..... eigenlijk de hele ochtend en nog later in regenbuien gefietst terwijl ik door bossen reed waarvan je het einde niet zag. Er werd veel hout afgevoerd omdat er kennelijk brand was geweest, vrachtwagen combinaties vol....af en aan...
      Tot vroeg in de middag ging dat zo door. Ik reed een dorpje in en zag het bordje Pissos. Ik dacht tijd voor een boterham maar toen begon het me toch een partij te hagelen, ongelofelijk. Ik drukte me tegen de gevel van een pand en kwam redelijk weg... maar goed terug naar het plaatsnaambordje, mijn overnachtingsplaatsje dacht ik bij mezelf en dan kon het niet ver meer weg zijn.. althans dat dacht ik.. maar goed een km of 5 verder zag ik het plaatsnaambord weer en werd het tijd om de locatiegegevens erbij te halen en zodoende reed ik Pissos werd uit, gelukkig in de goede richting.. enfin 12 km verder zag ik inmiddels een andere plaatsnaam, Commensacq, een plaats buiten de St Jacobsroute... maar goed de accomodatie maakte veel goed en morgen dus eerst weer op de route komen en dan door naar Dax.
      Internet heeft toch wat problemen in deze plaats, krijg mijn foto's niet ge upload... morgen dus. O ja de foto van de druiven... nu zo klein maar straks even mooie tros.      Leia mais

      Tot Pissos hadden gelukkig variatie in de wegen. Onverwacht aangenaam om te fietsen. Vanaf Pissos is het weer rechte wegen, pal in de zon, enkel uitzicht op naaldbomen gegarneerd met slecht wegdek. Blij na 84 km op onze bestemming te zijn blijkt dit wel de magerste overnachting tot nu toe te worden. Boven zijn slaapgelegenheden, afgeschermd met gordijnen. Aan de andere zijde slaapt de beheerster die zich het best laat omschrijven als een moeke. Naar beneden lopend om te douchen schreeuwt wijdbeens ' kommis', en terwijl zijn de asperges aan het schillen is: 'meeeten?'. Als ik vriendelijk bedank en zeg dat we nog brood hebben voor vanavond: 'niet boven eten!' terwijl ze met haar vinger een streng gebaar maakt. Oeps, we voelen ons weer op kamp. Vroeg slapen maar.Leia mais

      Mimizan

      28 de abril de 2023, França ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Too far today. Partly dictated by weather ( might be raining tomorrow) but also due to accomodation options, I did my longest ride today. Despite being the flatest, it was too far. You know the old joke "why are you riding north to Norway? It's all uphill" that's what it felt like- a slight headwind meant it was a day of uninterrupted effort. After getting through Biarittz- which I thought was pretty cool, Bayonne- lost in an industrial estate, and the oddly named Capbreton( no headland, no hats, not in Brittany) it was then flat endless forests. The velodysee cycle path was easy to follow and nearly all tarmaced and away from traffic- amazing. Though with this came lots of peddling traffic. All very friendly and by the end of the day I was remembering to say "Bonjour"rather than "Hola" to my 2 wheeled friends. An unnecessary detour to Mimizan plage at the end of the day was not what I needed. But the day is done- and a much shorter day tomorrow to look forward toLeia mais

      27 de setembro de 2019, França ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      als wir über die brücke zurück zur route canal du midi gefahren sind, haben wir das fahrrad gesehen, welches wohl schon länger nicht mehr gebraucht wurde. für einen kurzen moment sind wir parallel zur hauptstrasse gefahren und auf einmal waren zwei hunde (einer schwarz, einer weiss) mitten auf der hauptstrasse. ein autofahrer hupte noch und alle konzentrierten sich auf den weissen hund. eine autofahrerin ist dann vor niks augen direkt in den schwarzen hund gefahren. dieser hat es ca. 30 meter weit weg gespickt; es war ein junger ca. 30 kg schwerer hund. leider war für ihn jegliche hilfe zu spät. die autofahrerin war völlig unter schock und die kinder ziemlich durcheinander. abgesehen von nik, der das ganze direkt verfolgt hat und nicht eingreifen konnte. die restlichen kilometer waren fast wie in einem herbst-bilderbuch. die platanenallee waren heute besonders farbig nach diesem schock. da in dieser etappe die campingplätze sehr rar sind, hatten wir heute eine etappe von 60 km. die kinder waren stolz über eine solch lange distanz.Leia mais

      Bazas & Captieux

      26 de junho de 2023, França ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Herzliche Grüße aus einem Pinienwald bei Captieux im Naturpark Gascogne, wo ich im Augenblick noch lagere!
      Von La Réole aus zog ich vorgestern in glühender Hitze zunächst weiter bis in die Nähe von Auros. Dort schlug ich mein Zelt in einem Wald unweit einer alten Mühle auf und fand auch noch ein weiteres, diesmal besser erhaltenes Exemplar des Tintenfisch-Gitterlings.
      Am nächsten Morgen ging es weiter nach Bazas und zur dortigen Kathedrale. Auf dem Weg dorthin kam ich am idyllischen Waldsee von Brouqueyran vorbei. Anschließend wanderte ich auf einem schönen, schattigen Geh- und Radweg -dem 'Voie Verte'- bis nach Captieux. Von hier aus sind es nur noch etwas weniger als 200 km bis nach Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port am Fuße der Pyrenäen.
      Am Mittwoch werde ich hoffentlich in der größeren Stadt Mont-de-Marsan einlaufen und dort alles für den nächsten Abschnitt meiner Reise vorbereiten. Spätestens dann melde ich mich wieder...      Leia mais
