2 years agoHi Carolyn,
Glad you have enjoyed following our trip. We do love the life on tour in Europe. And yes, we have come to really like flying without luggage. Storage cost vary, but we are probably getting smarter as we go along, and as we speak French, it has been somewhat easier to investigate and negotiate here in France.
Costs
In Lisbon we paid 45€ per month in an an industrial park that was a 10Euro taxi to the metro.
In Barcelona we paid 88€ per month, a convenient 10 minute walk to Sants train station. We were gone only 3 months.
We have just booked a place in Toulouse, that is 39 € per month and seems to be easily accessible by metro.
MOST place do not put prices on their websites. Telephoning places in Toulouse, we were quoted 89€ , 55€ and took the 39€ at Homebox.
Hope this helps.
Just read about the Wars of Religion yesterday. Absolutely brutal stuff.

2 years agoHi Ann & Steve, I've very much enjoyed following along on your tour (and other tours). My husband & I have just completed a month tour in France (we live in New Zealand) loosely following part of the Anderson's tour in Autumn. We had an extraordinary time and we can't wait to plan one. We have been debating the question as to whether to purchase bikes and store them, so was curious about the storage facility you used in Barcelona. Would you mind sharing the cost of it for the three months you used it? Are you planning to store your bikes again at the end of this tour?
2 years agoLoving your weather. It is pouring rain in our part of Portugal. We will get wet this last week of the trip. Yesterday was gorgeous, today not so much! Portugal needs the rain, and we have had a good run, so can be philosophical about it. Glad we brought the Goretex though!
