Smile - You're on Candid Camera

First, an addition to day 9:

Dave reminded me of the few minutes I spent REALLY working the arse cream into my chafing areas - only to realise I was on a bank CCTV camera!  You'll probably find my nether regions immortalized on Youtube by now.

Anyway, after breakfast at 6-30am, we were on our way by 7-00, and enjoyed a beautiful sunny morning chasing down the Rhone.

Stopped for a quick photo as Dave's trip computer hit the 1000km mark, then pressed on to Avignon for lunch.

The sun never really hit us today, so by the time we rolled into Cavaillon at 3-30pm we felt aok.

The hotel is brilliant! I have my own balcony, and as I write this there's a beauty of a thunderstorm kicking off. It's a really eccentric place - the hotel is done out like a 20s fun palace - complete with original plumbing.

Dave and I once again did a stint at the laundry - we looked like the odd couple sorting through each other's smalls - but it felt good.

Bike wise, she's rolling like a dream - just concerned that my bum is going to go the distance. Feeling slightly more weary by the day - but now the end is in sight.

Look at me on my balcony!

The 100km point - and a road marking that
looks strangely like a cape in this pic.
