Tonight we are at Nevers. The Swiss lady is here also, having arrived yesterday. Once again we have struggled with the heat, stopping frequently as and when in a shady spot. When we last cycled this route, seven or eight years ago now, Nevers was our destination. Now our adventure really begins, tomorrow we will cycle over new ground towards our goal Basel, just over the border into Switzerland. This afternoon we passed the official starting point for people cycling the Loire route to Nantes. It is now twelve days since we left the campsite just past Nantes. We think we're doing O.K.
