On the Canal Path

Day 64 – Creon to Melhan-sur-Garonne

Wednesday July 6, 2011, 65 km (40 miles) – Total so far: 2,386 km (1,482 miles)

Today we cycled along an old railway line which has been converted to cycle paths. The cycling was wonderful and flat.

Big scary tunnel to cycle through.

Luckily it was well lit but would have been scary if the lights went out.

We are now on the canal path which goes about 200 kms to Toulouse.

We stayed in a campground in Melhan-sur-Garonne for only 6 euros. Makes a pleasant change from the expensive coastal resorts.

We went into the night markets. Mike ordered a plate of eels. It was putrid, but he seemed to enjoy it.
