A few facts!

A few facts so far...

We have covered 1,751 miles.

That's 4 tanks of fuel to date.

Ed has driven all of those miles which means...

I have navigated all of those miles!!! We don't have a SATNAV!

We've been on the road for 35 days. 

As a family we've cycled 90miles, though Ed has done more thanks to Julian and Simon!

Altogether (including Jasper and Maya's cameras) we have taken 4,114 photos to bore you with some day!

We have stayed on 15 campsites, some of which were 2 star, some 4 star, and some which were just no star!!!

Once we stayed in a car park for free. Turns out it was a school car park. And the school was having a disco that night. Not much sleep was had!

9 of our stopover points have been through the "France Passion" scheme which means we have stayed for free!

Several FP stopovers have been vineyards...including where we are now. Hic!

We have shopped at Carrefour, Intermarche, Super U, Spar and various street markets when possible. 

We have found "lait frais" (fresh milk) thank goodness at most of these shops as opposed to the rather unpleasant UHT milk. Those of you who have been to France will know what I mean!

We've eaten 35 baguettes, approx 45 croissants and a similar amount of Pain au Chocolats. Yikes!

I have read 3 books, 2 of which were on my kindle which I now like after my initial concerns about the pages not being justifiable! ('The French Gardener' by Santa Montafiore was quite good actually, thanks Mum!)

Ed has also read 3 books and is now on 'No way Down, Life and Death on K2'. Sounds great!

We are still in France, aiming to cross to Spain in the next few days ready for the next month of our travels.

We don't speak any Spanish! 

And the number one fact...

We are all OK, all having fun, and all missing our friends and family! :)

Much love; thanks for reading!
