I made it! Two days, a few hundred extra km and a Twingo later I'm in la ciotat! Only for one night and the boys are off again tomorrow but I don't care!

So I ring the breakdown people and ask if they can get me a hire car now its a weekday, so at least I can get about. 10...

So it's now day 3.... Can anything else go wrong! So we get up at about 11am on day 2, the plan is/was to spend the day being lazy round the pool or at the beach, the last thing we wanted to see is our two wheel beasts!....... However. We check the weather and is says hard rain in Monaco, bad news. We make a decision together that we will go their today. So we all come to terms with putting on our leathers... On they go! Within 5 mins I have sweat pouring out...

So today, where do I even begin... I imagine there will be two blogs for today, one by me and one by the others when they can. My bike broke down 120 miles from our first destination! Something to do with the immobiliser we all think and it's not starting. So after being recovered to a local garage in a town called Viviers where no one speaks a word, and I mean 1 word of English, the guy takes my bike into his a garage and locks up (7.30pm) and drives off!!!! ...
