Today was a bit scary for me. We\u2019d spent the morning sightseeing and vlogging around Tours, and the last stop was the train station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike had gone off to film a vlog while I took some photos of the train station with my phone. As I was doing this, I sensed someone watching me and turned around and there was a lady eying me up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was like a cat, trying to corner me. I stepped to the left, she stepped to the left. I tried going to the right as she followed, maintaining eye contact like a cat stalking its prey. I tried stepping backwards and she followed. I thought about running but didn\u2019t think that wouldn\u2019t end well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I saw Mike a distance behind her, oblivious to what was happening. Feeling trapped, I yelled out to him. Thankfully he saw what was happening straight away and came running over, yelling at the woman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A horrible scowl crossed her face and she muttered something that must have been a curse word. It wasn\u2019t until Mike was at my side that she finally backed off. We headed into the relative safety of the train station and waited a few minutes before heading out a different way, making sure she didn\u2019t follow us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In all my years of travelling alone, nothing like this has ever happened to me. She must have thought I was an easy target thinking I was distracted, but I always keep an eye out on what\u2019s going on around me. I know it drives Mike nuts at time, but it\u2019s important to follow your gut instinct. If something doesn\u2019t feel right then it probably isn\u2019t. Think we were lucky this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other than that, we\u2019ve enjoyed touring around Tours, hiding away from the heat in our air-conditioned hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We went out for dinner and had no idea what we were ordering. I ended up with raw fish in 38 degree heat, and Mike had a snail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back on the bikes tomorrow, and I think it\u2019s gonna rain for the next few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
