Blue tit?

You’re right - it’s probably the longest ride since the drive home from Tucson, and under the circumstances pushing the limits.

You’re right. That is truly strange. You win again, Bruce! You always have the best stories.

I think it's strange too but not as hard to take as when a Cambodian bus driver was yelling at us that our bikes would not fit and then getting in his bus and speeding off leaving us literally in the dust. We had already paid for the trip! We were left there in disbelief. He did eventually return and we had another go at it. We did get them in the compartment underneath but it was the worst experience with a bus driver we have ever had.

That's an awfully big ride coming off of whatever struck you down in Licata. Very glad to see you were both able to soldier on and are getting a break for a few days.

I like this one. So often it's the interesting but tough stretches where I wish I'd had the presence of mind to take a picture. You always put on a good show overall.

We're glad you guys are feeling better. The restdays will be good.

Our turn to say Lucky! So far we have seen oodles of storks in and on their nests, but no babies as yet.

Or good luck for you!

I’d definitely recommend the Lot and Dordogne!

Just wait. I’ve no doubt that Racpat will make the case when they get here next month.

Perfecto!

That’s so strange. It was really very quiet when we rode it. Just bad luck.

Thanks! Compared to the health issues both of you’ve had, it’s nothing.

We are happy we’ve come to Sicily because we’ve wanted to for a long time, but I doubt we will return. Too many other places to go!
