Here we are again, this time from a house of two wonderful people that are hosting us by pure coincidence. More about this later when there will be more time, because we really want to dadicate them time and a good comment. They really diserve it. For now we would only like to present you the road from Ansouis to Montpellier.
Smo še vedno v Provansi, v krasni, mirni vasi Ansouis, katere zgodovina sega najmanj 10. stoletje, ko je bil zgrajen dvorec. Ulice so izjemno strnjene, mirne in v zavetju pred pogosto aktivnim vetrom.
We are still in Provance, in a beautiful and peaceful village Ansouis of which the history reaches at least the 10th century when the chateau was built. The streets are really narrow, peaceful and in a shelter from the wind.
Skozi zanimivo sotesko preko hribov Luberona, na poti iz Ansouisa proti Bonnieuxu in dalje proti Avignonu.
Going trough an interesting gorge, over the Luberon hills, on the way from Ansouis to Bonnieux and on to Avignon.
Na severni strani kolesarske trase "Tour du Luberon". Po nasvetih Bernharda in glede na najino smer sva se odločila pustiti južno stran trase in se usmeriti proti severni, proti Avignonu, ki ga ne gre izpustiti. Na spodnji sliki se lepo vidi Bonnieux, če me spomin ne vara.
On the north side of the cycling path Tour du Luberon. Bernhard advised us to take the north part of the road towards Avignon that we could not miss to see, so we decided not to go on the southern part as we first planned and followed his advice. If I remember well you can see Bonnieux on the photo bellow.
V ozadju dolina Luberona.
The Luberon valley in the background.
V Lacoste sva bila priča zanimivi dirki oldtimerjev.
We saw an interesting oldtimers race in Lacoste.
Proti Avignonu po napisanih Bernhardovih napotkih. NITI ENKRAT SE NISVA IZGUBILA!!! Če greste kdaj v te kraje, mi sporočite, pa vam posredujem Bernhardov kontakt. Je izkušen kolesarski vodič in zna super angleško ter nemško, saj je od tam doma.
Towards Avignon following Bernhard's advice on which roads to take. We did not get lost at all. If you decide to go to these places, let me know and I will send you Bernhards contact data. He is an experienced German cycling guide and he speaks English and of course German.
Nalepke na znaku so nama govorile, da sva na pravi poti, na Bernhardovi poti, kjer je srečanje z avtomobilom redek prizor.
The stickers on the sign were telling us we were on the right way, that Bernhard suggested to us and where you rarely meet a car.
Skoraj v Avignonu.
Almost in Avignon.
Tam sva srečala Detlefa, še enega kolesarja iz Nemčije. V ozadju je palača papežev.
That is where we met Detlef, another cyclist from Germany. The palace of popes is in the background.
Zaželela sva si malo miru pred sicer privlačnim a hrupnim in kolesarjem neprijaznem starodavnem centru Avignona. Z brezplačno ladjico sva prečkala reko in se takole razkomotila na urejeni zelenici, kjer sva srečala mnogo miru željnih ljudi, turistov...
We wanted some peace from the traffic noise and unkind to cyclists but yet attractive old Avignon city center. We crossed the river with a free boat and this is how we got cosy on a nice grass where we met many people who were also looking for some peace...
Slavni avignonski most.
The famous Avignon bridge.
Iz Saint Remyja v edini močnejši zpon na najini poti.
From Saint Remy on to the only climb on this way.
V ozadju je Le Beoux.
Najina gostitelja iz Hospitality cluba blizu Arlesa, Nathalie in Salvatore. Takole sva morala natovoriti kolesi v avto, saj sta naju prišla iskati v St. Martin de Crau, ki je oddaljen 10km od njune hiše. Kraj kjer živita je težje najti. Kako lepo od njiju, kajne?
Our Hospitality club hosts, Nathalie and Salvatore that live close to Arles. This is how we put the bikes into the car; because they came to pick us up to St.Martin de Crau, that is 10 kilometers away from their house. The place where they live is harder to find. That was really nice of them, wasn't it? :)
Večerja v prijetni družbi. Na fotografiji sta tudi Tomy in Nina, njuna hčerka in sin.
Dinner in a nice company. Tomy and Nina, their children, are also on the photo.
Kratek nastop pred spanjem, predvsem pa pred toplim kaminom. :)
A short performance before going to bed in front of a nice and cosy fireplace. :)
Proti Montpelierju.
Towards Montpellier.
In tukaj se pojavi Joel, oseba, ki se nama je zelo utrnila v spomin in o kateri bomo več napisali, ko bo za to več časa, saj bi se njemu rada posvetila v miru. Naj za sedaj samo na kratko povem, da sva ga po naključju srečala 20km pred Montpelierjem na cesti, ki pelje skozi vas Lansargues, kjer živi s svojo ženo Anne. Ko sva mu povedala, da se bova verjetno ukampirala nekje, ob kaki njivi, naju je kar sam od sebe povabil v svojo hišo, kjer sva preživela čudovite tri dni ob prijetni družbi in čudoviti hrani, plod Joelovih kuharskih veščin.
And this is where Joel comes in. A person that will stay in our minds and about whoom we will write a bit more when we have time and peace. But for now, let me just shortly say that we met him by coincidence 20 kilometers before Montpellier on the road that goes trough the Lansargues village, where he lives with his wife Anne. When we told him that we will camp somwhere on a field, he invited us in to his house where we spent three extraordinary days in a great company and delicious food that was a result of Joels great cooking abilities.
Odpeljal naju je tudi v Montpellier, kjer sva srečala Pierra, izkušenega kolesarja, ki ima za sabo preko 30.000 km poti po sem svetu.
He also drove us to Montpellier, where we met Pierre, an experienced cyclist that has over 30.000 kilometers of cycling all over the world.
Nakupili smo nekaj rož za Anne, Joelovo ženo in se odpravili nazaj v domov.
We bought some flowers for Anne, Joels wife and we went back to the house.
Dobra glasba.
Good music.
