Bike Ride in Loira Valley

Image
Last weekend I went to the Loira ( Loire ) valley in France. Loire is a river and there is another river called Cher. The valley is a tourist attraction because it has spectacular castles and chateaus belonging to the renaissance period. For example, the Villandry castle is from 1540. Click Read more or the banner for the rest of the story Some other day I will post the pictures. Today I'm gonna write about the experience and the bike ride! I have an office job, so I dont have time to plan these trips. So in my mind I thought that these castles were all close by and that I could simply visit them by bike. The reality turned out to be different. It turned out that the distances were quite large. For example, between the city of Orleans where the castles start and the city of Tours at the other end there is a train ride of almost two hours. And its a fast train. So really bike riding is not a great idea there. Also these castles make money from people comming in and paying 10Euros...

My Travel Pics of Bayonne in South of France 2008

Image
The third trip of the year happened in February. Nice city by a river. However it is crazy how many cars there are there. Its just inundated with cars even as close as 3 meters to their monuments, on the curbs, etc!! The recommended affordable hotel /hostal is one I think called Madrid just next to the train station on the other side of the river. click on the banner to see the pics

Travel video of my trip to Avignon France

Image
I was in Avignon South of France. It positively surprised me! It must be a very nice place for me to say this given that the first night I was unable to find a hostal and ended up sleeping for two hours in a phone booth!!. Anyway, I took lots of pictures that you can check by clicking on the banner below.
