Hotels and Breakfasts (back to the bike trip)
Kit's biggest worry about the bike tour was French breakfasts (typically coffee and croissant). But we had great breakfasts in all of our hotels. Besides breads and croissants and juice there was almost always cereal, yogurt, meats and cheeses--and even eggs at our last hotel in Carcasonne. All of our hotels were quite nice--smaller family run hotels like we stayed at on the Rick Steves tour. We were lucky to have rooms on the lower floors. The hardest thing to adapt to is the French idea of a narrow deep bathtub with a handheld shower. (So we are glad to be back to our stand up shower).
