Sunday 18th May - St Mitre to Martigues - Ping!

Today was to be our passage through Marseille however, Georges threw another spoke relatively early in the morning and, as it was Sunday, no bike shops would be available for 24hrs. As we’d caught it early, we decided to stay the night in Martigues which meant a cheap hotel stop in these parts.

Not too down heartened, we took advantage of the sunshine, the attractive port, the French Rowing Championships and an excellent lunch on a quai.

Caught up with the Archers Omnibus online as we dozed off with wifi.
