We saw the opening of Tour De France in Brest which was awesome. Pics below. This will be a short post since the notebook is annoying me and the pub we are in seems to have just turned into a gay bar.
*update after gay bar* we wrote this 2 weeks ago:
As soon as we realised that tour de france was starting the same time we would be in France Alex made an executive decision and completely changed the travelling plans. Today we arrived in Brest where the celebrations are very much under way for the first stage of the Tour De France 2008!
Brest is a fairly large town and our van is parked in the middle of a small square of local shops – first time we have parked in such a busy area which should be intereting for sleeping.
We arrived here just in time to watch the end of the opening ceremony which was far bigger than either of us imagined. Luckily team Silence were one of the last teams to be welcomed on stage so we got to see Cadel and Robbie three times, twice they even smiled at us when we yelled GO AUSSIES!! Look out for us on SBS as we plan to make a big sign to hang on our van and park along the course somewhere if possible.
