Bonjour Paris! And... au revoir. Not a bad morning for a quick walkabout.

17:58

Strolling streets of Saint-Germain. These food shops & people eating on the street helping us working up an appetite!

08:19

Free WiFi/charging desk at Tarbes train station. Well... free so long as you pedal. Great idea & saw kids using it!

13:35

Lunch with friends after a damp walk. Advantage of chilly conditions: the restaurant is serving vin chaud. Cheers!

Chatting to local about huge mushrooms he just picked from his field. He insisted we take them to try. So lucky! Yum!

Chatting to the neighbours... Moooooooo! smile

12:10

Lovely Autumn day and just wondering around in the Pyrenean foothills. Sunshine. Fresh air. Tranquillity. Perfect.

11:17

Countryside walkies. It's 'walkies' as neighbour's dog decided to tag along. She's smart, knows not to chase cows! smile

12:57

Another difficult day in Southern France wink Hanging with friends while they force food & drink on us. Thanks guys! grin

Pratiwi hasn't been up this road before but quite likes the view. Maybe she should ride a bike more? wink #FamousClimb

12:12

Post-recovery, recovery wink Cheers from Saint-Lary-Soulan! grin

20:21

Didn't know what this dish was, but took it anyhow. Turns out to be deep fried cheese with jam on top. Soooo good! grin

20:15

When in Spain... grin Loving this tapas bar in Urtau Arties (Valle de Aran). It's an amazing place! Nom, nom, nom! tongue

14:13

Hike to Estany de Gerber, past another two smaller lakes. This pretty high up in the Spanish Pyrenees, around 2150m.

13:27

Andorran pizza. It might be the middle of summer, but in the shade it's still a bit chilly up here so went down well!

19:54

Family dinner in Quillan. I'm not easily impressed by salad, but... that's not bad! Prefer my choice mind! wink tongue

Outrageously good dinner tonight. Soooo good & so much too. Had to take a doggy bag which was our lunch the next day!

Bagneres-de-Bigorre fete. Few early snaps in the market hall with freshly sliced prosciutto, drinks & other goodies.

19:59

As rock'n'roll as it gets in the French countryside: local singers at a campsite. At least there was free alcohol! wink

17:17

Wondered into the nearby village on a sticky hot afternoon. Ice cream reward for some, cool glass of beer for others.

17:55

Walkies at Col des Palomières. View behind to the North as you can't see the mountains to the South from here. Doh!

08:54

Out in the woods next to 'home' with the dogs. One is too shy for photos, the other clearly an attention seeker! wink

19:11

Last day of spring evening ride with my beautiful - if a little slow... ahem! tongue - riding partner. Niiiice! smile grin

12:38

When you drop round to friends for lunch... and are served a four course gourmet meal! Nom, nom, nom tongue Thank you! smile

Helping friends collect cherries from this beautiful tree in their yard. Yuuuuuum! tongue

11:27

Rest day stroll. Got a little carried away & ended up going 8km to the next village & source of the Crastes. Oops wink

12:30

Local couple gave us the tip to go to this spot & collect wild garlic. Tasty in salad & cooking they said. We agree.

13:57

Rosbif lunch. Désolé monsieur, it's better in the UK wink Mousse for dessert was to die for though. Nom, nom, nom! tongue

13:41

Passing through Vaison-la-Romaine. In 2012 I spent several hours on an IV drip 100m from this square. Fun times! wink

Dessert time: Black Forest gâteau & more local beer. Like there's another choice?! Love a bakery that serves beer! grin

I'm sure jamón slicing is a very earnest business... just no-one thought to tell these two! wink Oh dear! grin

17:40

Evening stroll around Deidesheim before dinner. And a bit of... ahem... silliness wink Warmer than it looks... honest!

13:06

Lunch stop in the Alsace region. Very traditional looking restaurant has Italian specials. Who are we to argue? wink tongue

09:06

Passed lots of orange groves yesterday. Paid 7 bucks for a bag of lovely, juicy fruit as big as Pratiwi wink Bargain grin

10:28

Spanish supermarket: Jamón a serious business here! There's a guy hand slicing it for your tasting pleasure too smile

13:58

Lunch in Villajoyosa. 12€ menu included a 'small' glass of sangria. This & my entrée the highlights. Yum! tongue smile

14:54

Delta de l'Ebre. Quite time of year, but couple OK-ish bird in flight shots. Ducks, Flamingos, that kind of thing wink

18:06

Made it to the Med! We don't really do beach (too flat) But plus side: it's a bit warmer here! Swings/roundabouts wink

13:51

Picnic rest stop on our drive today. Just a few items we happened to have in the 'car' wink
