The paradox of ending a trip which finishes in Nice with us dipping the wheels of our bicycle in the Med
What paradox I hear you say ? Well for well over 3 weeks we have had one aim to get to Nice . Now we now we shall be there tomorrow, neither of us want it to end ! We met a lovely couple who were going on to Rome …. Very tempting.
However we are both looking forward to getting home to see family and friends.
So less philosophical banter . Jabron where we stayed was just a hamlet . Breakfast getting increasingly feral with old cheese a bit of left over Tuna and Pasta . One thing that cycling long distances makes you ravenously hungry !
A unexpectedly beautiful ride today through very rural mountainous scenery . a gradual ride from 700 metres up to 1,100 metres. We haven’t come far today anticipating being shattered by yesterdays up down up . Lovely to potter on without any pressure. Lunch by a lake with 2 day old bread and fresh avocado by a lake , quick snoozette sees us at a most palatial house with art everywhere. Our hosts will cook for us tonight . Tomorrow is an Ibis budget in Nice, so tonight will be our swan song so to speak . Our bible France En Velo tells us that when suddenly you are enmeshed with all the businesses of the Côte d’ Azur then after not being in a town since Angers will come as something of a surprise….we shall see
