So, everything is clean – us, our clothes, the bikes – well, when I say clean, we’re sort of clean.  The camp-site is surrounded by huge Poplar trees which are just shedding their seeds.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Poplar trees, the seeds float around in a sort of cotton wool that covers the floor and everything else like snow.

We’ve had a relaxing day walking around the city in the sun – 28 degrees again.  Looks like we’ll have to revert to our old routine of cycling early, taking a break during the hottest part of the day and then cycling again a bit later on.  We have looked at the maps and we estimate that there is around seven more days cycling, give or take, so it looks like we should be back home next weekend.
