We've finished!

It's been an amazing week since we last posted.

Unfortunately it's late, and I'm really too knackered to write too much... but in summary:

• We spent 4 days in Ax Les Thermes hanging out with Rosie! It was amazing. We went hiking for 2 of the days, the highlight being getting to the summit of the Dent d'Orlu (2222m) and hitching a lift in the back of a panel van. Lots of good cooked dinners in our apartment helped fuel our adventures.

Relaxing in the thermal pool at Ax-Les-Thermes, our base for 4 days.

Saying a sad goodbye to Rosie as she heads off on the train. We'll miss you Rosie :(

• After that we took 3 more days of riding to finish the traverse of the Pyrenees. We got over quite a few cols, and camped at some beautiful spots. One of the most spectacular descents we've encountered so far coming into Prades.

• We're now in Perpignon, a big city that we luckily found a bicycle track leading into. There are 10 kebab shops between our hotel and the train station, about 400m away. Suffice to say we had kebabs for dinner.
  

• Tomorrow we're off to Marseilles and then to Manosque where we're planning to ride for 3 days along the Grand Canyon du Verdon (the "Grand Canyon of Europe").

So that's about it for now. Will post FB photos and more details (yawn) later.

Love,
Marcus and Jen.
