Oct 21, 2014

We had a great day today.  Rode 36.6 miles on the bicycles.  Highlight of the day was a visit to the old village of LeBaux in Provence. Got lots of exercise since like most old towns and fortresses, they are built on the top of a mountain.  We did lots of climbing but the small and twisty roads were a bicyclists dream. Incredible scenery all the way. We are back on the boat for the night. Will do a short bike ride in the morning and then we will cruise the boat across the river (Rhone). To another landing point for a ride to Pont du Gard on Thursday.

Oct 20, 2014

We headed out at 7:30 this morning. We are traveling up a canal. The boat will pull over at Saint Gilles and drop us off with the bicycles where we will bicycle through the countryside into Arles. We will meet the boat at Arles again and spend the night.
