So I’m now here in Toulouse, Managed to do a stonking 170km from Andorra felt fantastic to finally get some real downhill after all that climb. I will upload photos when things are little less turbulent here. In fact I’ll probably write more about all of it when I get the chance at present things are going… Well I have a place to stay, I have arranged accommodation and schooling from the language school. Met some nice people, it all seems quite hopeful right now.

My only real worry is French, or rather my ability to learn it. I know it doesn’t help to worry about such things I just need to do my best consistently and time will sort it all out. Well I’m going to upload photos over the weekend and try and find somewhere to couchsurf instead of staying in the auberge I’m at until the 5th.

I’m also looking at books to buy, lists of words and verbs to learn, I have a suggested book by the course which I’m buying today, I’ve also found stores stocking English language books but I guess I should pick up French versions. I feel like this is a baptism of fire, but little by little I’ll get there, it’s a lot like cycling I guess .
