Crest at the Drome, more than 4000 km

France is just what I had expected. Soft and interesting. Everything, but not too!!!! Only not enough Fanta. Orangina is the alternative but that is really nothing .... I changed over by occasion to Cola, which I have not drunk for mayby 30 years. I feel it in my stomach. I need something good. I have biked in France now for more than 643 km and I like it.
spain was beatiful but very harsh: steep, high and many mountains. mucho calor and it was difficult to find a good camping site.
I would compare France and Spain as eating for fun and eating for surviving!!!!
The opposite has to do with contact with people. Especially in Aragon, Madrid, La Mancha and Andalucia it was easy to get into contact with people, and to talk with them in Castillano. In Catalunya that was more complicated. It looked like the local people would like to know details about my bike, but did not dare to ask.
In France the landscape is easier, not so complicated. It is just like holidays.
I am in Crest. Tonight I visited Crest. An interesting, beautiful town.
I have biked in France now for 665 km and it feels well
