Last updates_Important

Less than one month for our mitical journey and only 4 of us have commited and actually bought the plane tickets so far...

The tour will be done on the west side of France: bourdeaux, lanscapes etc... (Ricardo can give further information on this, and an updated map will be posted in the next few days)

Come on people! This will certainly be the journey of the year!

We have prices for car rental! and we think this will be the last week to rent them and decide who is coming along. Of course we could all meet there afterwords but you will have to do your own arranjements and gather a couple of people to share the car hire.

FIAT doblo (or similar) : 10 days = 229.98+22.42(additional driver) = 252.40GBP

optional navigational system=81.52 GBP (avoids getting lost and might be a very good option)

5 seats+5 luggage space and also air contioner (Rates include: Collision damage waiver, Theft protection, Third party liability insurance, tax (VAT), unlimited mileage and location/airport fees)

If there are more than 5 people coming we are better off just renting 2 cars as renting a 7 seat car can cost as much as 735.00GBP!

*Ricardo, Niki, Zé and Monica are very keen on the FIAT Doblo, although a very funny looking car it's quite spacious and it's blessed with air conditioner!

For those of us who already have a plane ticket to Paris*, we will be arriving on the 7th September @ 11h55. The car hire will start at the airport (Charles de Gaule) and we are thinking of sleeping near Paris that night in a cheap hotel:

"Premiere Classe Paris Ouest - Pont de Suresnes" just 2Km from the city center this 1 star hotel has a better rating than most of the 2star hotels in ryanair website (3 in 5).
So 1 double bedroom for 1 night = £29.00
For those who know Paris this hotel is right next to the Bois de Bologne!

For the rest of the journey the sleeping arranjements are going to be decided as they are needed...unless anyone has other ideas ;)
The main idea is to stay at bungalows or similar in camping parks. I hope there will be no need to sleep under a bridge but if we will come to that I'm sure no one will complaint.

Please answer quickly! Write your comments.
