Rained in at Roannes-Saint-Mary

18,19,20th July – Roannes st mary

We spent three nights in Roannes-Saint-Mary as it was just too cold and wet to move on. Plus our room was comfortable and a good size and we had free internet. We figured as we had been cycling 10+ weeks that we were due a break anyway.

Not much happened here. We ate, we slept, we caught up on blogs.

Quick Update

Monday, August 8th, 2011

no blogs for a while as internet has been scarce. Will update later.

Basically we have been having terrible weather (making up for the lovely weather we had for the first 12 weeks). We got rained in on the massif central for about a week. It has been on and off rain for the last two weeks. We are about 85 kms away from the ferry and we hope to catch the train as it is chucking it down yet again.
