Last tango in Paris!

A photo in front of the Louvre on Friday evening.

After waking at a somewhat more reasonable time on Saturday (7.30am) we packed up
everything and went to the tour briefing at the next hotel where we
met the tour organisers and fellow riders. We had a rider briefing
where we got the rules for the tour and were told about our luggage
situation (which meant we had to repack yet again!). This basically
means that for the next 3 days we only have one set of clothes to wear
at the end of each day of riding.

Let's hope we can cope!
After waiting for hours to get checked into the hotel, we gave up and
went for lunch and then came back to do a final check that our luggage
was all ok! We will soon find out if we've mispacked anything!
Suddenly it was time to go and eat dinner (Amy says it seems like all
she's done in Paris is eat!) so after yet another lovely meal we went
back to the hotel (which we had finally managed to check into) and had
to take our bags to get weighed...which of course were perfectly fine.
More discussion followed tonight, debating on the best ways to do
certain things and what not to do-but this will all be much easier
when we get underway!
Tommorow is an early start; so definitely no tangoing in Paris by us
tonight. We leave at 7.30am on the road which means brekky at 6.30.
The first two hours are cycling round Paris and sightseeing then
heading out for Provins. It will be good to finally get on the road.
