After a tiresome search for somewhere cheap to stay last night in Paris we finally gave in and spent the night in a swanky hotel.
We met up with Demi & Chloe who had literally shopped till they dropped-they both looked like they had cycled from Belfast to Paris. It was a great night filled with lots of fun, food, stories and wandering about Paris. Thanks to the girls for a good night out.
We went our own ways this afternoon, Demi & Chloe jumped on a train back to the airport & John and I got a short train out of Paris to avoid the hectic traffic and began cycling from a town called Melun. Today's cycling was fantastic. Long, flat, well surfaced roads where we were averaging around 30 kph, well that was until we were met with the biggest hill in France. John managed to cycle the whole way up but I decided it would be quicker for me to walk up.
The weather today has been fantastic, around 22 degrees-just what the doctor ordered. It was obviously a good day to be outside, we passed about 5 'ladies of the night' and met plenty of cyclists. Pascal, our new friend took us directly from Font centre to our campsite for the night. It's a brilliant spot and best of all it's free!!!
Tomorrow we plan on getting some bouldering done. A group of Belgian climbers have just turned up so we are hoping to get a look at their guidebook & see where is best to go.
Thanks for following guys!!!
Ross & John.
Sabot or col de chien! Both with sandy landings and plenty of other (usually some english)people with pads and guides. Have fun mate.
