The kindness of strangers. This morning the Dutch couple in the motorhome next to us made coffee for ourselves and a German lady who arrived after dark and asked to share our pitch. After a hastily eaten breakfast we were glad to be be on our way. Angela determined to leave a review on trip advisor about the awful female staff.
We needed an easier day. Decize was around twenty-five miles along the canal. It was already hot and we were tired from yesterday so stopped frequently to rest and take on water. Yesterday we calculated we'd consumed around nine litres of water at least between us. As we flagged a little we broke out the emergency croissant to boost energy levels. By lunchtime we were on the campsite at Decize, sat in a shady spot glad today's cycling was done. Last September we stayed here along with fellow cyclists we met along the way and all sat out in the evening eating and chatting. Where are they all now? We know that evening will not be recreated tonight and on a way we're glad. It was a special evening from which we have cherished memories. Arriving on site early meant we could rest, wash some clothing and shave our legs. Well Angela's legs. She'll do anything to make herself more aerodynamic!
