Day one

The bike fully loaded, goodbye London (and good riddance)
Did about 350 miles from London to Le Mans in France via the eurotunnel. Nice smooth, empty roads, although the tolls are pricey it is worth it.
Weather has been good and warm, might be some rain tonight but tomorrow is looking clear all the way down to Bordeaux, about 450Km away.
The french are renowned for their great food so we had KFC, cheap and cheerful ;-)
Now sitting in the motel listening to Sublime and sinking some well deserved beers thinking how will I get through the next 83 days with no work!?
