After a hearty breakfast in the morning, we cycled through the forests and out of Rouen; we crossed the River Seine and saw an Ikea! Then came the big climb of the day! It was a mere 40 metres high!!! 😕 We arrived in Les Andelys to a fab picnic spread arranged by our family.
Challenges of the day: Waking up in the morning. We were so tired & sleepy!!! 😭 Surprises of the day: Tom says I have stopped complaining! 😊 Thanks to the seven scoops of ice-cream & the frogs legs I ate for dinner yesterday at a local Chinese buffet, (I had to get my money's worth!), I felt better prepared for all the hills today! Distance covered: 46 miles Duration: 5.5 hours  |
Setting off from our B&B in Rouen.
