Admittedly since he is in a foreign country right now and probably experiencing some cool foreign stuff. This communication cut-off for past 2 days, is abit frustrating. I want to hear the cool stories from him!
Let's see here, yesterday he was somewhere in Chateau Thierry, France. Looks like a wonderful medieval area. He didn't have accommodation lined up in advance there, which is partially why he was annoyed that his computer wasn't working to help himself search and book 1 day in advance from Paris.
This is how he handled planning and dealing with accommodation for longer self-loaded touring rides --just book places at beginning, end and a couple places in between that he would safely predict he could get the hotel on confirmed dates. The rest --play it by ear. You do have to be flexible, not knowing the terrain, weather, etc. on self-planned bike trips.
So hmmmm...he's still in France probably???
As an additional addendum now: he appreciates the reminder about the differences in the computer keyboard due to l'accent requirements.
