Days 228-229. 57km (82363kms 7yrs)
Yves and I cycled into Nîmes together where I left him doing his shopping at the charming outdoor market, as I circled back to take some more photos of the town’s impressive Roman ‘ruins’ seems a bit unfair as the arena and maison carré are incredibly well preserved.
Again, leaving town with local cyclist advice made all the difference as I knew to take the hillier but quiet road through a military area, from which I could look down to see the busy highway I was avoiding below. The road then descended passing through some very sweet villages one of which had a very charming water pump on it’s small plaza. In a decathlon on the outskirts of Alès I made the long overdue replacement of my cycling gloves before completing the last couple of kilometres of the ride to my host’s place.
Claire & Gael hosted me so generously for 2 nights allowing me to celebrate my 20th travel-anniversary in great company, comfort, and in trying sea snails for the first time! (And lots of other more conventionally delicious food and wine 😆)

Very nice
Wow! Another huge milestone. Big congrats.👌👍👍
Congratulations! A big milestone. Oh, if you ever see them try the le Petit-gris escargots. I think they are the best.
Wow 20 years! That’s is definitely a milestone! Amazing! ❤️
3:15 It's an Osage Orange, native to east Texas. Lovely trees, you'll see them cultivated elsewhere because they have very strong, flexible wood. Those fruits are inedible. Congrats on 20 years.
Happy anniversary, what an achievement 🎉
Escargot de mer, what a treat to celebrate 🤤
20 years, wow, you are resilient! Happy anniversary and I hope you get hot showers hosts all the way to the UK as it looks a bit cold there now! 😅. And keep enjoying the food! 😱
