We are in Sete, the end of the road, the completion of our journey. We phaffed around Agde for an hour this morning, first trying to find the velo route to the Cape which we failed miserably, then at the Tourismo asking where the end of the canal is - no one knows!! Asking about a cycle route to Sete as there is only a major road across a 25km causeway - you must be joking was all the Tourismo lady could say. We just followed the road signs and there was a fantastic velo route alongside the Mediterranean. We had a very strong NW wind which helped as oppossed to hindered our progress and we arrived in Sete at lunchtime. Dist 29.22 km. Our final Odo reading 1489.4 km or 931 miles. We cycled on 27 days including to Mont Michelle so averaged about 55km or 35 miles per day - not too bad for 3 geriatrics. We did 12 days on the original route and 15 days on the revised route. We just about got from the Atlantic to the Med on velo routes - we really need to do better in UK.
So that is it for this trip, Gilly and I were in Sete 44 years ago and Gilly is having fun trying to find our hotel and the police station in which she spent the night - but that is story for another time. Gilly and I have enjoyed the journey, the weather has been generally kind, the roads good and the locals very helpful. We hire a car on Monday and make our way to St Malo for our ferry on 30th.
TTFN.
