Today the Tour de France passed the town of Cognac! There was a race against the clock and I saw more than 80 cyclists. They all arrive individually with a police escort in front and sponser cars behind. So if anyone sees the tour de France in Cognac on TV, think of me because I saw it live!!

On top of everything, Evans an Australian is coming second at the moment. In today's race he was 23 seconds behind the winner! And my host sisters knew the commentator and so they asked him if I could say a word when the Australian went past. So I yelled Allez Australie and Go Australia into microphone!

Very cool and the commentator kept saying and we have an Australian here and everyone cheered like I was some celebrity!

Tomorrow I head home. Part of me is happy to return to my room, my family, friends and life in Australia, the other part feels that I could keep travelling and escape the responsible life of work and study a little bit longer. But as the tickets are booked for tomorrow, I will take the train to the airport and fly for 20 hours to return home.

See you all in 3 days!
