Day 9
The morning was spent get the rear pannier carrier on Chris's bike replaced which fortunately was carried out at an InterSport store (and given as a birthday present from David). Once done we used the ferry from Royan to get across the estuary. After that the 80 km was quite easy with the best bike trails we have had so far. Tarmac the whole way on cycle lanes or dedicated bike roads getting up to 32 km/h on some sections and being able to cruise at 24/25 km/h. Arriving in Maubuisson presented a few hills, something we had not seen for a few days, leading up to the lake side town.
Dinner at the lake side town was in a pizza place called Pizza Marina, which was the best calzone we have ever had (see the photos).
Day 10
Back on tarmac bike trails again today and heading for the 3rd ferry crossing to get from XXXXXXXX to Arcachon. We did the 58 km by 1:30. A great little ride mostly through pine forest with lots of small up and downs. Only problem being mosquitos, which managed to bite while we going on the up hill sections.
So our shortest day and in the hotel by 3 pm, so it's ice cream and coffee now and a rest before dinner, then it's 130 km tomorrow and our last two days.
