3 September Sarlat to Souillac then a trainride to Brig, Switzerland

Another week of cycling comes to an end, as our Bordeaux\Dordogne time comes to a close. Beautiful cycling along a bike path, then Lyn found a great coffee shop at St Julien's where we enjoyed a cappucino, cos we made good time for our train, before arriving to church bells in Souillac.

We got a little carried away in the grocery store & shopped for Australia on the food front for our 8 hours of train rides to get us to Switzerland via Paris. It's tough at the top!  One of the tamest yet scariest rides was about 200 metres riding behind Ty to the other railway station in Paris.  I'm still freaked out by cycling on the wrong\"right" side of the road.  Add Paris traffic into the mix & I wasn't looking forward to it - but of course it was fine.

Ty is the guy who met us on the platform in Paris & basically held our hand\threw our bikes off & on trains, walked with us over borders & to our Swiss hotel by 1am after a very long day.  Our next cycling adventure continues.....
