Monday 26. 09. 11 Just got back from a weekend chez Marie-Pierre and Olivier at St Médard en Jalles near Bordeaux. Rode the scooter over to see how it and I performed on long journeys. We both did well and I was surprised at how unstressed I was after 9 hours in the saddle!! I just took the RN roads so didn’t have much traffic to deal with and just enjoyed the changing landscapes, architecture and crops. Of course it helped that the weather was perfect. Fished with Olivier and Marie-Pierre in the Bassin d’Arcachon together with Laurens and Didier, successfully for the first time, had the usual sumptious meals and even managed to get up to Rochefort to the Marine Museum and Pierre Loti’s house, both well worth a visit.
I love this pic..
