1-2 May: Chinon -> Samaur

Page: 1 . [2] . 3 . 4

The ride on the May the 1st was also a fairly long one to the town Samaur, where we had arranged to drop the bikes back. A few extremely steep bits, including 2 streets where I think all but 2 or so had to walk the bikes up. Quite interesting streets through the little towns which dotted our cycle route. We also passed the ruins of what appeared to be houses carved out of the cliffs themselves! Strange, and obviously hadn't passed the test of time, as we could see straight into the rooms.

Samaur was a bigger town, so not so much of a highlight - but we found a fun seafood restaurant with an entertaining accordian player who knew an impressive array of tunes to suit any nationality.

The next day we hopped on a train back to Tours to catch our flight back to London.

All in all a fantistic trip. I highly recommend it!
