Day 2: Le Mans - Bordeaux 450km

Yesterday we did another day of 'blitzing' through France. We left Le Mans mid morning and made our way to our second stop: Bordeaux. The ride was smooth, but that's to be expected when you have to cough up for the toll roads. Along the way we picked up millions of bugs, and our heavy loaded bike managed to crack the heated tar during one of our breaks.

Bordeaux welcomed us with wonderful sunshine at a rather hot 30 degrees. We soon got unpacked, showered and changed before heading to the local Supermarche to pick out some delightful French food essentials, including baguette & filling, and cidre (not to be mistaken for the crap stuff they drink back home). We had a lovely French style picnic in the local park thinking 'this is the life...'

Today we'll be heading over the border into Spain where we'll be camping in San Sebastian, on the coast of the Gulf of Biscay.
