THE FUTURE!!!

We are going traveling by tandem! Currently we are surrounded by boxes, pannier bags and a selection of bicycle tools. Having packed in our jobs, packed up our house and relocated all our junk into our (very obliging) parents spare rooms we are almost ready to start our adventure en France.  After a couple of months of dreaming and absolutely no planning it's a bit mad to think we're off. We will be cycling out of Calais, heading south; then across to the Alps and into Italy if we're not sick of cycling by then! They're pretty much the only plans we have made, not even booked a ferry yet!
There are a few places we'd like to to visit along the way including Puy du Fou
Alp D'Huez
and the Mediterranean coast.
The idea is to take everything we need on the bike and trailer, and camp for as long as the weather allows.

We are also looking at WorkAway places. These offer room and board for some sort of service and can be any thing from house sitting to alpaca farming. It could be a great way of exploring an area whilst keeping costs down, and meeting interesting people. Not much in the way of a plan, but we hope to leave this week!
