Every strata the same . Grapefruit and porridge is our favourite. Buy some bread at the Boulangerie and maybe an avocado for butter .
The eager anticipation of the days route makes me want to get on
Leaving Forcalquier is a nice experience as it pretty well downhill for several miles to the Durance river . The hunt for coffee is on which we find in busy Oraison. Market day too , hustle and bustle with vegetables and flowers and also ladies trousers for anorexia! We decide to go off piste up a little valley which was bliss … but also knowing there was a 300 metre climb at the end . Extra lube for all . Ceri waits patiently at the top . Definitely a beer hill which was rectified in Puimoisson . I left most of my energy on the hill and am much relieved that the afternoon is mostly downhill to Moustiers- Ste Marie . Such a beautiful village tucked into a cliff .
No good time to mention this really but French roads for cyclists are so so smooth, makes a big difference
The sign of a successful holiday is I suppose is that you don’t want it to end . This is one
Ceri's Blog with Neil 
Wow, your blogs, Neil, are getting nearly as descriptive as Ceri’s! Her talent must be rubbing off on you. What an amazing experience you both are having and it looks so beautiful!. I couldn’t bear though, to have to search for a coffee each day, (though I always love stopping at a bar and having one), but we also always take a flask of hot water and some coffee to ensure we will get one. You cannot be far from the end of your journey now. Keep those legs pumping and eyes bright both of you. Lots of love
