Oh dear... a day of low morale. The day started well with pretty gallus weather and an efficient exit from Reims. Sadly this good start was marred by numerous brutal hills and busy roads: on with the helmet! Not many miles to do but distance gets forgotten when its all uphill.
Got to Epernay for lunch and a visit to the Lavmatic. Left it a bit late to go to Lucy meaning that the temperature was unpleasantly low. Couchsurfing again with a bird in a tiny wee village which was to be found over more brutal hills...one of which turned out to be completely unecessary. Women cannot give directions, this has turned out to be one of the most important lessons of this whole journey! On top of this I realised that I would have to go back up said brutal hill first thing in the morning, good times!
Eventually arrived at my couchsurfing destination which was indeed in the middle of nowhere. it also transpired that the bird couldn't really speak English and her family coulcd't speak any at all. Ended up sitting on the computer while they all watched French tv and bantered in French....early to bed!
