Internet at last

Bonjour tout le monde!
I am typing on a french keyboard so I am perhaps not quite as expressive as I would like.
We are in Gap in the south of France and it is very hot today - this little cafe is boiling so I will not write much.
The day after we arrived in Windsor (an hour from London) the bombs went off in the tube. The landlady at the pub where we were staying spent an anxious day on the phone - her son's girlfriend was on the train that went past the one that was bombed; what a contrast in the newspaper headlines - from celebrating London having gotten the Olympics to terrorism.
We have come across the Tour de France a few times, sometimes by accident. We stayed in a farmer's field outside Biançon to find ourselves on the route agqin so we had our morning coffee in our PJs and watched it go past. We waved our Aussi and boxing kangaroo flags with pride. Yesterday we were watching the race in a bar when Aussi Robbie McEwen won - we were loud in our cheering as you can imagine.
We have travelled some hairy roads through the Alps in the motorhome (that is, camping carrrr) and geez the scenery sucked; hot days in a lake surrounded by mountains upon which you could see snow.
Tomorrow we go to Nice and thence to Italy.
Internet access has been very poor but here's hoping to be more frequent in future!
