We got here. We're in. We made it.
It was actually a trouble-free trip as far as the flight is concerned. We arrived to rain in Lyon on Friday evening. None too excited about the rain.
All our bags arrived, except one: Linda's prized Pinarello (bicycle). Can't have much of a bike trip if you don't have a bike.
Fortunately, it wasn't lost, the airline simply couldn't fit the box onto our flight from Zurich to Lyon. They put it on the next flight and it arrived in Lyon around 9:30 p.m. A minor inconvenience, but cause for some consternation early on. We were behind schedule a little bit, we ended up arriving in Carpentras at about 12:30 a.m.
There's much more to talk about--Garmin GPS (what was supposed to be a 3 hour drive from Carpentras to Bourg d'Oisans turned into 8), Mt. Ventoux, rain in Bourg d'Oisans just in time for our arrival :( , pics to post, etc. I'll get to that next time.
Oh, and the Renault Kangoo worked out perfectly.
So glad you arrived safely and got the bike without to much of a wait! I would've freaked if I were you Linda! Was internet access easy? Hope it remains so, look forward to pictures and hope the weather comfortably cools those rides rather than complicates them. thanks for the update, :-) Dru
