2 Oct 2018: Sarlat la-Caneda to Souillac 35 miles; 287 total


 The route map is approximate because I wanted to take in La Roque-Gageac and Domme. I recalled a bike path on the north side of the Dordogne River, so we attempted to locate and follow that path into Souillac. Again, my Garmin GPS was useless in finding our pre-booked hotels, directing us onto obscure side streets versus a fairly simple, direct route

Unfortunately, not writing the blog at the end of each day means lots of the details go missing. Our internet connection was poor. I could connect my phone, just one phone, and no lap top. I'll settle for lots of photos to tell the story.

We cycled into central Sarlat to see it in daylight. We experienced crowds and can only imagine what July and August are like. Elbow room only.
