More fun in fantastic France !
Bev has a very difficult decision to make, what stylish fashion should she model today!? Mmmm…. What do you think? She finally chooses the colourful floral flowing pants and blazer with the sleek, bob cut wig ! When in France …..
Tres chic, perfect Paris !
Oui, je suis tres chic aujourd’hui !! … yes, I am very chic today!
Bruce, not looking quite as stylish as Bev today, heads excitedly north to ….perfect Paris!
Lovely Loire river & beyond !
Bonjour everyone ! Hope you aren’t too exhausted after yesterdays hilly tour of the local village of Montsoreau.
Our plan today is to cycle along the lovely Loire river and venture into the beautiful town of Saumur.
The weather forecast is for another warm, sunny day, so please slip, slop, slap on your sunscreen! It should be an approximate 30 km round trip back to our campground ….if all goes to plan!
The Loire Valley region !
Come with us to the beautiful Loire Valley ! Our destination is Camping De L’Isle Verte which we will use as our base while we explore the region by bike.
On the map here, you can locate the village of Saumur & our camping is in Montsoreau, which is 10 km to the east…..I know, we’d never heard of this place either!
Now, do a quick service on your bikes or grab an electric bike if you can! There may be a few steep little hills today to test out those legs of yours
Anyone up for an oyster ?
Driving north along the south west coast of France & Mark is keen to try the local oysters fresh from the sea ! ….a La naturale of course!
Ooh – La – La ! We’re in France !
Yes, we’re now in fantastic France but only just !
We’re visiting the famous village of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Porte , 8 kms from the Spanish border in the Basque hinterland, in the foothills of The Pyrenees.
Grab a kayak, but first …..!
But first …. business before pleasure today.
Mark makes his grand appearance from Bruce modelling his favourite, famous, snazzy red trousers! .…NO shorts today !!
Donostia – San Sebastián part 2!!
It’s a pleasant 6 km ride through the green forest hills and into stunning San Sebastian, or Donostia in Basque.

Sensational San Sebastián ! Part 1 !
Studying the maps the following morning ….after, yes, a wonderful peaceful sleep at the cemetery, we decide to head to San Sebastián , or Donostia in Basque language .
