Pratiwi was dreaming of splashing about in a mountain stream all day. Brrr, icy! I showed her how to relax instead 
8km & 900m vertical later: Col d'Ayous! Arrived rather sweaty, but yes that is snow on the ground. Time to head back.
Dinner in Laruns. Oh look, some kind of thick soup dish with half a roast duck thrown in for good measure! Nom, nom!
Much amusement was had when inflatable walrus met inflatable kangaroo. And yes - we kept it clean!
Some loon rode this Chopper part way up Hautacam. Another loon borrowed it Messing about at Le Tour - love it! 
Dinner at Monestir de Les Avellanes. Excuse my confused look. Long flight & bit of a drive. Plus the red was chilled! Welcome to Spain 
Wore a thermal on today's midday ride. First time this year. It was chilly, but somehow still managed to sweat a bit!
Obligatory 'standing/sitting at the edge of a cliff' shots in the Blue Mountains These are at Lincoln's Rock.
"It's coming off in 2 days celebration" Although: am actually quite attached now. Should it stay or should it go?
On the dirt today. Been a while, almost forgot MTB was such fun! And yes, it is still winter here in Sydney!
Wow... Is it summer already? Snacking on banana bread after another great spin in the fantastic winter sunshine
Fango the Weimaraner (think that's what he is). Full of energy, that's for sure! Lucky his garden is a vineyard!
Lunch in St Emilion. The bar was crowded with people swirling, sniffing & slurping their wine. Serious business here!
Another café stop in Florence. Another beer, another coffee & another tiramisu. Yum! 
Canal-side dinner. Italian dishes look a bit Spartan, huh? It's that 1st/2nd course thing. Lucky they have desert!
Well, we don't go out for lunch often so might as well do it right Food with a view at Hotel Florence, Bellagio
This morning's ride was round a misty Lake Como. Menaggio to Bellagio. Shots on the ferry back home. Nice way to end.
Being fitted with custom insoles. The 'mould' is a bag of silica particles connected to a vacuum pump. Yes, I asked.
Dinner at Hotel Oberland. I have slab of pork wrapped in bacon on rösti, all topped with herb butter stuff. Yum!
Pffft... they said it would be crowded & cold. Doesn't seem that bad at all! Now, riders should be through any...
More duck as dinner for me. Foie gras (as we are so close to Thiviers) & veal for Pratiwi. Plus huge deserts. Yum!
What a day, I might have lost a few fluids so time to re-hydrate! Imagine if it was actually hot & sunny!?
Wasn't going to go riding this arvo (it's a bit windy & want to watch the Giro). But now thinking I perhaps should
Lunch in one of the many lovely little squares you find in Nîmes. That you find all over Europe for that matter
Rob & Simon Gerrans, Aussie road race champion. Doing it tough after a crash but still time for fans @simongerrans
Spot the difference today? Someone's on a rest day and someone else deserves a beer after his energetic morning
Back at the Sheraton Senggigi & time for dinner with a well deserved beer... after a very much appreciated shower.
Broken clippers at home meant this barbershop visit had to be squeezed in. $1 with real cut throat clean up. Bargain!
