Tour de France 2014 - Chalons-en-Champagne

Started the day with a 45 minute run, legs still feel tired but it's definitely a start. Rain hasn't gone away yet , but not too cold so it bearable. BB and I walked 40 minutes down to Centre Ville Chalfont-en- Champagne to watch the caravan pass. Stopped and picked up some baguette to munch on along the way. Took lots of videos and still managed to collect goodies, Madeleine, haribo, lots of keyrings and more washing detergent. Walked back and picked up some shopping from our 10euro budget, which seems to be working at the moment. Plan was to head off but due to the rain decided to spend another night at the B&B hotel at Saint Memmie, reasonable price of 46euro a night. Had some lunch then I headed down the road to check out the girlie shops. Found a 4euro pair of black casual pants. Happy with that. Back to the motel and watched the last 40k of the Tour and saw at least 3 crashes, roads wet and slippery, it's going to happen. Dinner of Baguette, cheese and tomatoes sprinkle of pepper and lots of mustard along with a shared tin of peas and carrots and yes, added more mustard, I am totally addicted to the stuff. Not a great deal on TV again tonight, will just internet.
