Day #9: Chatellerault
Progress text From Dad to Mum:
"A very very strong wind today - hard work, but now in Chatellerault. Came via Tours which was lovely but too big. In a B&B - €20.00. Feel tired but fine after shower. It has been a long day, 110km - 808km in total. Planning to stay at Eddie Edens' in Sigournais for 2 or 3 nights."
Mum then text back to tell him to slow down or he would be in Denia before she got there. He quickly text back to say "No Chance!!"

Salut Mike
Please slow down or you will be here before I get the red carpet washed and ironed.
The weather has improved again although the wind is still a bit fresh. The auberge 'Chez Bennie et Eddy' is ready to welcome you and Javier for as long as you want.
à bientôt
Eddy

I just passed some of the MARKON guys painting the lines at the new A737 junction. Looks like they are getting on fine without you checking they have their hard hats on!!!
Great following your route on the map here - you have come so far already. Hope you are enjoying it to the full! Thought I would tell you a wee story about Patrick to give you a laugh, as I am sure you can picture the situation!!
He came running in from school yesterday absolutely bursting, running to the loo!! Then Megan saunters in saying "that was great". Willie the school bus driver had beeen told Patrick was desperate for loo and instead of dropping him at bus stop, he drove into the street and dropped him right at the door!! Could only happen to Patrick. He's been well warned not to think that is a great excuse to get dropped off at house again!
Ella wants to tell you she is going to see granny Meg today and take her a pie and cream cake for her lunch! Keep cycling and take care. love 'n' hugs Mo and Ella xxx
