The party's over :-(

At least the holiday is and we now have to face the homeward
journey and work on Tuesday.

We have had another lovely day though, pootling around,
finishing our books and cycling to St Didier for lunch. Still find
it amazing value, 2 aperitifs, 2 three course meals, a 50cl pitchet
of rose wine, armangac and coffee, all for 33 euros!

Lunch

After our ride we had a lovely lunch, the worst bit was being
disgustingly sweaty :-(

Another fantastic day

Today we cycled to L'isle sur la Sorgue via St Didier. It was a tough
climb but the downhill into L'isle sur la Sorgue was superb. A
round trip of 26.5 miles so feel our fitness preparation for Everest
is well underway.

Not quite Ventoux

but good enough for us. Ventoux is 6228ft just a little out of our league.

For Natalie -

a quarry!

Just had a fantastic bike ride. Going from 480ft to 1347ft over 7
miles. Boy was the return, all downhill, good.

Just what's needed

to cool down after yet another busy, hot day.

Fontaine de Vaucluse this morning, followed by swimming this
afternoon. Thunder is forecast but it hasn't happened yet.

Update: it is now 9pm and still no sign of the thunder but it is
very very hot and sticky.

and here it is

The previous bites are healing. This is a newly acquired one on my
good leg!
