donations
In France we swapped chocolate filled mini croissants for regular ones and traded Spanish bread for baguettes and many types of cereales filled bread. Influenced by what we experienced when staying with Yves and Ingrid our cooking has become a little more French as well. This is what we ate in one day in France. Out of interest this was also the day we saw someone with a donkey crossing a river in the Cevennes a la Robert Louis Stevenson (we think they were a tourist!).
Breakfast
Croissants (we’re in France, you’ve got to have them…), apple and pear porridge with rhubarb jam on top.
Snack
Very long sugary pastry with nuts on top, espressos with biscuits.
Lunch
Baguettes, potatoe tartlet and sprits (giant shortbreads).
Dinner
Boiled potatoes with salad and two types of grilled goats cheese (prepared on dusk at a minty free-camp), pain aux chocolat, pain aux raisin

Day Of Food – Spain
We’ve tried to document a typical day’s food intake for two hungry cyclists in Spain. Note we normally wouldn’t have two dinners but this day began with a free camp outside Biescas and ended with an offer of a comfortable bed in Gerbe. – Posted by Emma
Spain By Numbers
We had 34 days in Spain and we can’t yet say that it was the best country we’ll see on this trip, but it sure beats our rainy exit from the UK. Spain, we’ll miss your chocolate filled croissants, hospitable people and wonderful tarmac (most of the time). – Posted by Emma + Justin
Showers Of Sun & Snow
We entered France on an endless downhill, following gorges in blazing sun with baguettes tucked under our arms and berets on our heads – (well maybe not quite but you get the picture). It was too hot to contemplate the thermal waters at Amelie-les-Bains and we hid from the worst of the heat before hill climbing among vivid green trees in the late afternoon, wondering where summer had been hiding all this time. – Posted by Emma
2000 Kilometre Photo
Here is the second in our 1000km milestone photos. This one was taken on 28th April 2010 as we cycled between Taulis and St Marsal in France.

The map below shows the waypoints for this blog post. To view the details of our trip to date take a look at our complete route map.
Beetroot and goats cheese, my favourite! We’ve just had a Tesco express open within 150m of our local Co-op has the world gone crazy? The same irritating self checkout that makes you wait until the guy behind the counter has finished with the que of people in front of him to buy beer. You don’t know what you’re missing.
Any ideas how I track down the leak in my birthing pool? It’s a little bigger than a bicycle tyre at 1.8m by 1.2m and dunking it in a bucket seems impractical, we have glue and patch but no idea how to locate leak, all advice welcome. Take care my lovlies. Arohanui
Hi Andrea
We’re having similar trouble tracking down leaks in inflatable sleeping mats. Slashing the whole thing with water might help you find the leak – it should hiss…
Otherwise you’ll just have to give birth very quickly? Must be super close now?
