Not much to say today apart from I'm 25 miles ahead of schedule, thanks to a very favourable breeze. Went through La Rochelle about 6pm, stopping for a raclette and tomato juice, ending up in Rochefort. I worked a few things out today though
- pretty much impossible to get served food between 2pm and 6pm, even in big towns.
- the D111 between La Rochelle and Rochefort is not meant for road bikes.
- how to ask politely for my water bottles to be filled.
- The meaning of ralentisseur.
The last one coming as a bit of a shock at the bottom of a rather steep hill.
Off to Bordeaux tomorrow, although might keep going if still feeling ok. There is a place called 'La Barp' which sound like fun, just a bit further on.
