Castellane..

After seeing the gorge I arrived at Castellane and decided to treat myself to a bed for the night.  That was easier said than done but eventually a French couple told me of a hotel that specialised in renting rooms to bikers.  Having just been reading a book about the Mongol outlaw motorcycle club in America and the places they hang out I was a bit worried but it's actually ok.  In the next room to me are a couple from Slovenia and they are going to tell me some places to go when I get there.  They only decided to come to France today and had travelled 1700 kilometres in one day,  I must be a right wimp, the most I can manage is about 400. :( Another guy I met from Switzerland has told me about a pass that goes up over two thousand metres so all being well I'll give that a try tomorrow.   I've booked myself in for canyoning on Sunday afternoon, I wanted to go white water rafting but apparently there isn't enough water in the right parts to do it, but Franco from Slovenia says he will tell me a place to do it when I get there so that's pretty cool.  I've put one other picture of the gorge on and you can probably understand what they mean when they say there isn't enough water?

Well that's it I'm up to date.  I'm actually sat outside the now closed reception so I can get wifi and as well as being bit all the time I can hear lots of explosions going off and I don't mean fireworks so if by any chance it's something I need to worry about  will someone let me know.  cheers Robert
