On day 2 we hiked to a waterfall at 10,600 outside a tiny village of 80 people. Pedro is one of our guides. Born here & except for a few years in LA lived here his whole life.

We spent 15 days in Oaxaca this year & so glad to return. We love this place! Fortunate to spend all days at Las Mariposas. Brekkie is where we find out about all of the fun things to do and it makes our trip wonderful.

We spent 2 days in Avignon before joining our bike trip. Loved visiting the papal palace, wandering small streets and enjoying fresh oysters, snails, & shrimp at market.

A short rainy stay gave us time for a wine tasting & Valrhona chocolate tour- yum!

A short stay here. Lovely lake & museums.

After 3 days in Lyon, we wanted to check out Annecy. Surrounded by mountains amidst a lovely lake – we love Annecy. Rode our bikes around the lake twice & loved exploring the streets/alleys cafes & shops.

Ok – these next few posts are out of chronological order. …sometimes travel fun & poor WiFi get in the way!

We flew from Faro Portugal to Lyon after we booked our bike trip.

Love Lyon! We stayed in city center – easy walk to the fun sites. …and there are lots! And near amazing restaurants. We are amazed at how many cafes there are and everyone is busy. Locals & tourists love to eat out!

We biked between 25-40 miles per day. We would start at 9:00 – end around 5:00. Each day we would stop to tour sites & towns. We would pack our lunches & enjoy at some little town. The two bigger cities: Arles & Avignon. Aigues Morte was our final stop. I did not find distances nor climbs tough – rather navigating tiny village streets was difficult.

We arrive on our boat – our cabin has two single beds& tiny bath. Fresh air port hole.

Upstairs dining & living – cozy. Nice outdoor space at bow. Getting acquainted with fellow travellers – very fun & interesting. Bikes nice and follow the leader touting easy. Love my ebike!

Views along Rhône River stunning. Riding through countryside -the best. Biking through small streets of villages of Provence – exceed my expectations. We stop for a few tours of historic sites and enjoy lunch Al fresco.

We bike in countryside around Avignon. Flowering trees, budding grape vines. Charming old towns.idyllic
