We had a wonderful nights rest at the chambre d’ote and in the morning they gave us breakfast. It was just like being on camino again, where we all sat at a big table, we had croissants, bread and jam, and a big bowl of coffee. We love how they do things in France.

The morning started out amazing, we picked up a nice flat cycle path. We had a map which showed the cycle routes all the way to Angers and it veered off at a town called Serges. But when we got to Serges, there were no sign posts to say which way to go. So we double checked our map, but there were no landmarks or roads on the map to know where we were supposed to turn. This is very typical French.

We followed the cycle path a bit further on, hopeful it might lead us south, but alas, it was heading north. So Mike had to resort to his garmin to get us there.

It worked out okay in the end as we followed quiet roads and they were mostly flat. In the afternoon it got very hot and humid, but we slogged away, knowing that we had two rest days coming up.

The garmin truely behaved itself today and we navigated to the camping ground in a big city, without seeing hardly any traffic. We’ve booked into a chalet in the campground, so we have power, our own bathroom and cooking facilities.

We walked 30 minutes to the nearest supermarket and stocked up on healthy supplies for the next few days, as it’s Sunday tomorrow and all the shops will be shut.

Mike is hoping to do some maintenance on the bikes such as replacing the brake pads, and oiling things. I am hoping to get some editing done. Oh, and of course we’ll visit the town of Angers.
