Hello bike friends in the world, I’m from Brazil from the city of São Vicente in the State of SP, today I had the pleasure of finding Brian pedaling on the bike paths of Guaruja-SP and Santos-SP, we talked a bit and gave some safety tips to him , I wish good luck and have … [Read more…]
Well, after all that excitement, I spent several days just relaxing while Brian did all the work. The weather had turned a bit greyer, and the batteries weren’t charged enough to keep the electrics working, and therefore very few pictures of me were taken. More sea and more beaches, and quite a lot of rain … [Read more…]
Brian thought I was fed up with him and the hot bike bag : not quite! Well you know how much I like boats, and rivers,. Once again we were by a river, watching a ferry, and then some old man feeding the ducks… I suppose that at least meant they were not interested in … [Read more…]
The fun I had at Le-Roc-Saint-Andre campsite – they had a proper garden, with proper plants and – wait for it – Flowerpots! And then we made our way to Nantes via Bouvron where I met some new friends who could ride a tractor (gave me a new perspective on farming), watched lots of … [Read more…]
Today we went back to FC Lorient for a repeat of photos taken yesterday that went missing with the phone : now THAT is important, all those lovely pictures of me, I hope someone has saved them somewhere, otherwise we’ll have a lot of steps to retrace. A thousand miles worth! While Brian celebrated having … [Read more…]
More rivers, more fishing, more football, a wedding, more beers, more wine, more music, more tourist offices, more football, 800 miles, less wifi, less electric, NO PHONE. Disaster! In Lorient, where Brian left his phone in the shower block and it had gone when he went back for it. So most of the day he … [Read more…]
From Craon, following the cycle path still, Brian stopped at a tourist office (he said it was for information, personally I think that’s where all the pretty girls hang out) and then at a bar (where all the beer hangs out) before setting off again. I was just dozing off when I found myself flying … [Read more…]
It rained in Lisieux – Hooray!- but not for very long, so I didn’t get very far before it was time to pack up and be on the move again. We stopped to see what might be going on in Vendeuvre, there was a castle (or at least a big house, with a big garden) … [Read more…]
Brian has decided to go on cycle paths instead of main roads, so a more leisurely time on the road, and quieter. Except they seem to disappear or close without warning, never mind, we’ll go the pretty way. Vittelfleur had another bridge over a river, pretty but a bit fierce! Veulettes-sur-Mer had a Lidl so … [Read more…]
France – they eat snails don’t they? I am keeping a low profile until I spy out how the land lies. There’s a lot of travelling going on, and I spend lots of time in my bag, occasionally poking my head out to see what’s happening. Lots of roads, lots of sea, lots of sand … [Read more…]
