Sold the wrong ticket
22nd July 2013
So last night I purchased my ticket for Marseille. I didn’t realise that I had too change but when I looked at the ticket closely I realised that I did. The change point is Montpellier. So when I arrived at the station I had a 40 minute wait. Standing there a porter was walking up
Bye bye Spain, hello France
22nd July 2013
Yesterday I left Barcelona Spain and three hours later was in Cerbere France. Its a really a strange thing when you cross borders and the language changes, your brain is thinking in English but trying to speak a mix of Spanish and French all at the same time. Cerbere is a meca for backpackers, cyclist’s

My early morning wake up call of fireworks on the beach had me up by 7.30am, so after a shower I packed my gear up. Before hitting the road a quick coffee was in order before hitting the road. The weather was a little overcast as I pedalled down this small country lane. Today I’m
War in Spain.
21st July 2013
I stayed in Azul Camping last night which is right on the beach and very popular with the French windsurfing crowed. After tasking in some sun on a super windy beach for a few hours it was time to have a bite to eat and off to bed. Has war broken out in Spain I
Doing nothing
18th July 2013
Sometimes the only thing to do Is do nothing. When i say nothing i mean no cycling. So I’ve spent the day catching up with family and friends but mostly sitting on the beach watch the world go past quietly reflecting and looking towards my next route and where that will lead. My journey over
