Rolling through wet Cherbourg streets
Thanks a heap, Jason...
So, we arrived in Cherbourg this afternoon, finally off the hot, stuffy ferry, rolling through streets wet with earlier rain, thinking how great this is, when Gabby hit a slippery curb on a corner and came tumbling down. Thankfully, only a scraped knee and some minor holes in the front pannier, but still the first spill of the trip.
And by the way, don't feel guilty at all Jason, what with your last comment and all... we would never say you jinxed us, eh?!

ReplyDeleteSo it seems it was "my bad".
I'm sorry Gabby.
Very happy to see you're still smiling, Gabby, with your war wound. Love to you both. Lee & Peter
ReplyDeleteHasten Jason! Fetch the basin!
ReplyDeleteMay his be as bad as it gets. xxx Des
Ouch Gabby! Glad it was only a minor crash.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what you can do with a puncture kit! We fixed a hole in one of our mattresses with ours and it worked perfectly! Congrats on reaching France - now the fun REALLY starts!
Actually Shanna, we did that last year too when I couldn't find our thermarest repair kit - and it's still going strong.
