La finale samedi sur nos vacances d'été

A small note to provide a little background.We made a "discovery" on Peter's new phone. It is an app called S-Health and one of its functions is that it will track a cycle ride. It uses GPS to map where you are, are going, have been and then reports a whole load of information about the bike ride.

With a pique-nique packed in the pannier (lashings of Perrier) we set off on our bikes for a trip to Port de Plomb. Our southern route was to be along the cliff top to PdP and then back along the cycle paths via Nieul. We made a quick stop at Aux Saveurs to secure a reservation for dinner and how glad we were. Peter had been fretting about mislaying a pair of Sheila's sunglasses that she had graciously lent him. As we entered the resto we were greeted by the co-owner and front of house and waitress, who presented us with the sunglasses that Peter had clearly (and carelessly) left behind.

Once on the cliff top and heading south we could feel the strength of the wind and at times it was hard going. None the less the destination was achieved and we enjoyed our sandwiches on a bench overlooking the bay.
By the time we arrived back at rue de Nantilly we had traveled 11.2 miles with an hour and a half of cycling and, according to S-Health, used 682 calories.

Saturday evening was all mapped out - a stroll down to the Port de Pelle for a bit of live rock music and on to Aux Saveurs for our 8pm table. And so it worked out - more or less - we left the house a little later than planned - the walk to the port took a little longer than planned and the first band were playing the last song of their set. So 10 minutes after arriving, we walked back to the resto, to find ourselves the only people there. We had a very nice dinner but our worries about their survival were heightened.
