Hi there! Thanks for checking out our blog and welcome to nicki and ross' european cycle adventure! The purpose of this blog is to keep friends and family updated on where we are and what we are doing during our time here in europe. We'll try to add posts as often as we can, aiming for one each week. enjoy!

So we're actually two weeks into our trip now. Today is a monday, and I've been finding it hard to keep track of what day it is so far. Each day is at the same time very similar and very different to the one previous. Wake up, break down the camp, and cycle. Thats the basic routine. Plus of course the constant eating, exploring and eventually setting up camp. But also each day brings a different adventure aith different weather, landscapes and people. So not knowing which day of the week it is doesnt pose much of a problem. And thats something we,ll have to get used to, the planned leangth of this trîp being 4 to 5 months, it almost seems more of a lifestyle than a vacation.

Today we are in the loire valley in tours. about to cycle to the chateaux villandry where there are amazing gardens. might check out a couple other chateauxs also. heading further south tommorow and will be in agen in 6 days or so. better get back on the bikes.....
