Overnight to Bayonne

As usual friday traffic and the M25 leave a lot to be desired and so after Milton Keynes some sporadic kip in the stop start traffic until we got to Dover at 1am.

The timings could have been better but the Pride of Dover was empty on the 2 am crossing to Calais, so another good hour racked out in the aft lounge after a quick bedtime cocoa.

Another, good 4-5 hours kip on the way to Le Mans and a stop, discovery that roaming is not enabled and then coffee and a bacon buttie on the bus. Followed by admin, trying to learn Spanish and some more dozing.

The Physicool works and I'd say my knee is now at a good 80 percent with a day's rest to go - so off tomorrow on the bike to Roncesvalles and the first stamp(s) in my Pilgrims Passport.

In the meantime a quick stop at Bordeaux at 1330 and lunch. So Bayonne about 4 ish and off for 0842 train to St Jean Pied de Port.
