Last blast today

Our accommodation was great last night. Sylvian, the 5th generation proprietor warmed to us throughout the night  and by nights end he photocopied all the details of our trip to read later. He thought the photo of dad in the book was me! ' that's sick" was his comment in a heavy French accent. Our meal was special as usual , however, I must admit it was difficult going watching Ants face as he worked his way through a regional special..... Calves head!!!!! Yes!     He said , "the meat was fine but looking at it was the hard part." I agree. 
Today is our last day of this most interesting journey. Nigel & Ant had the maps out and will make it as interesting as possible no doubt. The rain has stopped, that's good. It has been very special riding a route of such distance and for the reason we have but it's been a totally unique experience blogging along the way . I have now read dads book.... By jeep to freedom ... A total of six times, and saw something different each time. He Was brave to do the journey but very smart to have recorded it.            To all our blog readers , I hope you have been entertained, & to all the contributors, a really heart felt special thank-you for adding another dimension to the experience. Every one has been entertaining. As Sylvian said last night "all things have an end..........except a sausage.......they have two ends".   More later. Ron
