Day 63 - Amboise

A mid morning call from Paris airport allayed our fears. Viv & Linton had finally arrived albeit a day late after getting their days mixed up and were driving down to Amboise. The fact that Kim (a non cyclist) was the only one amongst us to turn up on the due date (2early 2late) made me think that research may one day establish a close link between ones rear end, excessive cycling and dementia - i'll let you know if I remember !

With Viv and Linton safely arrived (apart from the few bruises we gave them) we took in Leonardo's Close De Luce for a fascinating insight into this genius of a man philosopher, inventor and painter who although living in the favour of Francois I ended his life with few worthwhile possessions.

Back at the Villa it was time to celebrate with a local wine and plan some cycling activity (absolutely essential with so many beaut bakeries) taking in this beautiful region of France!
