Summer vacation has started! I am on my low-budget high-speed train OUIGO to pull off another stunt: fetching Maximilian on the go at our stop in Lyon, where Myriam will drop him off. Not yet sure whether this will work, but it has to. Grey zone for sure. But avoiding Max to travel back to Paris from his climbing week in the Alps. Once succeeded we’ll have one more hour on the train together to meet the girls in Avignon, where our rental car is already waiting for us. The girls are on a direct train, and even got Max’ and my free seats next to them. Then one week of Mont Ventoux, and another on Porquerolles. No computer, just this bloody phone.

Bonne chance, bonnes vacances, bon Tour-2025 and even better Bon Vélo! Failure is not an option and Better is not possible!
