More rain today!

Well we are still in St. Jean De Luz. It rained throughout the night again but the sky this morning actually looks a little less dense. We decided to pack up our stuff and ride into town and find a hotel for the night. The weather is supposed to clear by tomorrow. Yesterday when we were in town we found it to be such a cute place we figure we might as well take advantage of it rather than spend another day in the drizzle.

We are in a really little but very nice hotel that is right in the heart of the town. Lots of pedestrian traffic and very few cars. (the roads are too narrow even for the little cars they have over here) So you would think that we would be out walking and exploring.

Well when you spend your nights sleeping in a tent, having to walk to the bathroom which is up the road and only having a shower that is one temperature and has a button to turn it on and only runs for 15 seconds per push............you will understand when I tell you that we both took very long and very hot showers, went to the bathroom on a toilet that actually has a seat on it and toilet paper and are now relaxing on a nice soft bed. Bob is actually taking a nap! This might be heaven!

Having said all that we do plan to explore this adorable town and even treat ourselves to a nice dinner.

Even with all the rain these past few days have been really nice. We both feel that our legs are finally getting stronger and we are looking forward to the pyreenes mountains. St Sebastian is not going to happen for us this trip. It was just turning into too much of a logistical task and after looking at the France map for the pyreenes we decided to stay in France. There are more choices for roads that will take us to the mediteranean and it will also give us the opportunity to cycle several of the more famous/infamous Cols AKA mountain passes which are part of the Tour De France. We have our sights set on the Col Du Tourmalet!

Viva La France'
