dream on two wheels

Provence 2004, 952km

Mostly in Easter vacation, we went to south France for camping. Several time we meet other friends to spend the holidays with them on a huge camp ground formed up on a small hill near le Lavandou at the côte D’azur. For us it showed up like a huge playground, having fun 24/7, or may be 24/14, because the vacation was 14 days long. 15 years later, my brother and me wanted to make a cycling tour together, and because it was beginning of May in southern Europe during the time periode 8.05.-16.05.04. Finally  952km in 8 days.
