Up at 7 and out of campsite by 8. Quick coffee at the tabac where we ate the night before and then 20 km to Bergerac. Sally looked for an English bookstall on the market (without success) while I had a coffee. Then off to the station. Tickets to La Rochelle cost 38 euros each, changing at Bordeaux. Arrived at the magnificent station in La Rochelle at 16:14. Went shoe shopping at the Tsonga store, but Sal didn't find anything she liked. Paid almost 7 euros for 2 orangina drinks and called camp site on Il de Re to see if we could come a day early - and here we are, ready for our last night of camping. Pictures to follow tomorrow when internet sorted.
Plan: To cycle from Avignon, crossing southern edge of Massif Central, go through the Dordogne and then catch a train from either Bergerac or Perigueux to La Rochelle. We plan to use the odd train to keep our daily mileage low enough to do some sight seeing. We should arrive on the Ile de Re on Sunday 3rd July.
