Hi All,
just a quick update on our travels following the tour. We spent yesterday in Carcossone checking out la cite and this morning on to Provence to see the tour wizz thru. We got stuck in a bit of traffic and then had a hard &é km ride over the luberon range to Bonnieux a great hill town that I visited with my family in 2002. Unfortuaely we missed the riders by 5 mins _ bugger.
Just having a cooling drink in the local bar before a lap around town and then on to the Alps and Alp Huez as our base for the next week. Will fill in te gaps and add some more pics soon. Thanks for all your comments and feedback.

Come on Cadel
Hey Rod, You've really picked a great tour to follow. Cadel has been magnificent. Managed to watch every stage so far on SBS. Haven't seen your ugly mug on the screen yet? Great coverage as usual. Big stage coming up tonight (Sunday night). If Cadel can make a statement on this stage he will go a long way to taking the GC. Hope you are having a great time. How could you not? Biug weekend for Aussie sport, Wallabies down Boks at Subiaco, Norman leads the British Open and Cadel in front in the Tour. Go you good thing!

YELLING FOR THE YELLOW
What a shame you missed the guys by 5 mins - they travel so fast it is scary - especially with all those spectators all over the road. Couple of speccy crashes in last night's stage - one a the big round-a-bout and then poor Pereira crashing over the guard rail. Do you guys get to catch up on the highlights at the end of the day? We need you to really yell now, so Cadel gets back the yell(ow) - oh I'm so funny I crack myself up - sure no-one else will laugh - oh well. Keep up the blog, sure I might have seen you a night or so ago. Cheers Karen
