Shopping in French

I was within the proverbial of buying goat's milk yesterday....after staring at the word "chevres" for a while I then looked at the picture...phew! 

Alex has ridden up the col de croix de fer and is now moribund.  I've been doing interval efforts along the valley floor, and before you think how easy is that...the max grade  was 10%

It's our last day here tomorrow and then we're off to the Pyrenees, apparently there is free wifi there so I should be able to add some pix. 

Off to watch the TdF......

The alpes

I'm sitting on the floor of the tourist bureau making use of their free wifi, which is only useable within 150m of this room and since I've got the crap laptop with me I need it to be plugged into the mains.


The pix above is my car and apartment..we're on the first and second floor ie the balcony and porthole above.

It's situated right at the base of the alpe d'huez and is about a 10 min walk into bourg d'oisans..Alex has already gone up that climb, but I'm busy doing some hard training  for Austria and so am not planning to shatter myself  "col bagging".

The weather has been great, so i'm happily working on my tan.
