Those miles at sea, seemed to have tired us out and our pace slowed down. Still, we did rather well, and got to the heart of the Somme region.
We got as far as Morval, a tiny hamlet with 91 residents, and not suprisingly no where to stay.
A kind farmer offered us a lift to the closest city, Amiens. One of our gang got very excited at this, and told us that this was the burial place of Jules Verne, the author of Around the World in 80 Days, Jules Verne.
After paying our respects to our beloved author, we had a slap up meal and calculated that after today's 92 miles we had 94 miles (from Morval) to the bright lights of Paris .
