Day 34 – Fouras les Bains to La Tremblade click to view route in new page

Monday June 6, 2011, 53 km (33 miles) – Total so far: 1,140 km (708 miles)

We left Foras and continued on down the coast. We stopped in Rochefort for lunch.

We met a german girl who had cycled up from Morocco and was on her way back home to Hanover in Germany. She had been cycling since December and wanted to know which way to get out of Rochefort. We also got a few tips from her on routes heading south. She said she just knocks on peoples doors and asks if she can camp in their back yard and most of the time they invite her to sleep indoors! Still – pretty amazing to cycle that far on your own.

We left Rochefort and had to cycle over this large bridge.

Later on in the day we had to cycle over another one!

The rest of the day we cycled through wetlands and spotted some wildlife.
