I must have pushed the send button too fast in the previous update - so let's continue: so there we arrived in Tours - our starting place - with the intention to still bike a short ride from the center of Tours to a small village just 20km outside of the city. My parents would stay with us for the first night, so they followed us by car - my car to be precise, and my GPS to be even more precise... On our bike we had also a GPS. That adds up to two GPS systems. Now, just like a man with two watches never knows how late it is, a man with two GPS's never knows how to get to his destination... The story is too long to tell here - although the distance was short - but we got lost at least five times, and we biked an additional 50% of the planned distance and if this journey continues as it got started we might not arrive in Santiago de Compostela before Christmas! Hallelujah:.. Despite two GPS's we arrived 2 hours late for dinner at our idyllic destination and the mere fact that we found this place in the middle of nowhere was due to the assistance of half of the population of France... As of this day, I consider the French people as the most helpful on earth no matter what the rest of the world might think :-))
