Caen, France to Rouen, France
What's it like to ride 80 odd miles in 30 degree heat? Not as bad as you might think, it's a bit like having the window down in the car on a hot day - you get a nice breeze to cool you. That said, the moment you stop, you boil, and I'm the most tired tonight I've been yet, so it definitely takes it out of you.
Frustrating late start and late finish today. Took a chance taking a big diversion to the hostel I'm at in Rouens, which I couldn't book and wasn't sure even existed anymore! Got near to town and phone battery with address and maps on it died... Eventually found good ol Mc D's for a charge and wifi, and finally, found hostel which had one room left... need to get more organised on this trip!

Neil says to tell you that Shane Crawford (Australian Football Great) rode a bike from Melbourne to Perth in 14 days and that is against the prevailing winds.
Only 11 degrees today. Snow on Mount Lofty and the Flinders Ranges (in the outback)

Ros, that's over 2,000 miles! Not fun nor easy against a headwind, some man!
