La grand motte

After watching the tdf today 5k from the finish in Montpellier, took a drive to la grand motte in anticipation of sleeping in the same little park as last time we were here, but unfortunately unable to do
it. Hit the road again and the gps went spaso, hurray for etape hotels. Been a month since our last sleep in a bed, rather than hotel kangoo, luxury. Cracked open a bottle of red tonight, luxury number 2 - beats cask wine for sure

Après avoir vu le TDF aujourd'hui 5k de l'arrivée à Montpellier, a pris une voiture à La Grand Motte, en prévision de dormir dans le parc même petite que la dernière fois que nous étions ici, mais malheureusement pas en mesure de le faire. Hit the road again et le GPS est allé Spaso, hourra pour les hôtels etape. Vous connaissez un mois depuis notre dernier sommeil dans un lit, un hôtel plutôt que de Kangoo, de luxe. Cracked ouvrir une bouteille de rouge, ce soir, de luxe numéro 2 - bat vin en fût à coup sûr

Plateau de Beille

What a busy mountain finish this was. Dont think the cars will be off the mountain until 10-11 oclock. Cadel still lookkng good

Red wine to warm the soul

Would be disappointed if La Mongie didn't give a taste of cold weather, just like last year. Red wine definately helps warm the soul and evefything else

St Flour

Exciting stage of the tdf today at the high historical village of St Flour, accidents, breakaway, rain, sun and lots of haribo to eat and Panache to drink . Tasted Aligot, a region specialty, very nice and very fattening
