Climbing the Stairway to Heaven ....


Today's challenge - hitting the Med at St Raphael. 

After waking up to blanket mist and fog, we cheered ourselves up by sitting in a laundrette for what seemed like 5 hours. Amazingly, after almost 12 euros on soap and machines, our clothes were neither clean nor dry. 

We decided to press on, over some hills that a week ago would have killed us - but now are mere bumps in the road. I saw some road cyclists on the horizon at Vaudeban - and set out to catch them. We almost did, then I came to my senses.

After a nice salad in le muy, we set off for the med. We hit it at about 3-00 in Frejus - and here we are! Booked into a nice hotel right in the centre - only problem being there's no place to store bikes, and just a narrow spiral staircase to our 3rd floor rooms. Oh how we laughed... 

Other good news, it's 8.5 euros for a lager on the sea-front. 

The only gay in the village - avec his old piano
Tomorrow we hit Nice - and already I feel a bit low about our adventure coming to an end. Thought a lot about the people I love back home - and Dave has caught me doing the 1000 yard stare a few times. 

Funny old game life... PC
