Took a D-tour out of Toulouse to see the Tour de France and we caught the stragglers! I think some people thaught we were in it too. We saw the writing on the road cheering the entrants on. We slept in a lovely field under a fig tree, but unfortunately woke to the sound of the brick-crushing factory next door. Toulouse was pleasant but busy and very hot : 35+ degC postmarked on July 22nd, Day 18, received in Turnchapel on 26th click here for Diary   Leaving Turnchapel click on the links below here to see the postcards  1 & 2 Ferry & Jersey 3 St Malo 4 : Les Lucs-sur- Boulogne 5 Charente 6 Agen 7 La Rochelle 8 Carcassonne 9 Saissac 10 Orange 11 Val des Usses 12 Aix les Bains 13 Basel 14 Heidelberg 15 Saarbrucken 16 The Plane 17 Hastings 18 Chichester 19 Bournemouth                         watch for more news and pictures as they send more Postcards home for more info visit weblog page  click here to return to starting page Visit again soon for more news!
