We're on our way

Flying out with the bikes is always the most nervous bit of the trip.  Will the airline accept the  undismantled bikes just wrapped in nylon covers? Will the bikes and Panniers arrive at the right destination? Will the bikes survive the baggage handlers?

Fortunately the answer to all these questions today was 'yes'. No problems at check in at Edinburgh, and the luggage all came off the carousel in Nice in jig time. 
A quick unpack and re attachment of pedals and handlebars and were ready to set off for the nearby airport hotel where we had booked for tonight.
We took a couple of wrong turns before finding the cycle path to the hotel and soon had all our gear in the room. It just fitted.
Today we just took the tram into Nice to have some lunch and a wander round. Nice is bustling with loads of grand buildings, narrow streets and busy beach.
 It was  nice to see but we're looking forward to getting on the bikes tomorrow morning and heading out of the city.
