No school = more blogs... apparently...

I know! You've heard from me so often! What's going on?!
However this is probably the last you'll hear from me for at least a good couple of weeks... so we can let that slide.

Yes! Basically, tomorrow I will be leaving for Chris's house (boyfriend who is going to Honduras with PT who I will be doing the bike ride with) and making sure we've got everything ready.... and then after a good night's sleep, we will be off for Londinium!
It doesn't look like I've actually told you properly about the bike ride yet, so here you go.
The first day of cycling, the Wednesday, we will cycling from the London Eye to Portsmouth harbour. The ferry leaves at 11pm so we have the whole day to make it! It should be around 80 miles and if we leave London at 8-9am then we'll get to Portsmouth in comfortable time (that's the plan at least!)
We will then spend an uncomfortable night trying to sleep on the ferry... But once we arrive at Le Havre at 7am, we will be off again for day 2! We will spend this long day of 75ish miles (apparently very rainy day too) heading for Evreux. We will spend a night somewhere other than a ferry this time, which will be nice!
Then for the final day, we will head off for Paris! Luckily this day is shorter too - our legs will be feeling the previous two days, no doubt. So this day is looking to be 65ish miles.. We have booked an actual hotel for our reward for when we arrive in Paris which will be lovely, it has lifts too which is great.
I doubt we'll have a big romantic evening in Paris though. It'll be straight in the shower and then straight to bed. However we will be leaving Paris late the next day, so we'll be able to enjoy ourselves a bit!

So yes. I'm actually really rather excited.. which is strange.. and I'm sure I'll regret saying that in a few days time, but good luck Squibb!
