As I mentioned, the WAV had to be abandoned in a pay and display area yesterday. This was due to the vehicle being too high for the hotels car park. Unfortunately, in all the drama, one forgot to switch off the headlights leading to one thing, a dead battery! Luckily, a passing French guy realised what had happened and came to the rescue with jump leads.
Of course, one then needed to take the WAV for a spin to recharge said battery during which we discovered that the Lyon stage of the Tour de France was taking place today, an experience that we simply couldn’t miss. After scouting out the route, one found a restaurant where we could monitor the crowd levels. However, as the route is quite spread out in Lyon, its fairly easy for a wheelchair user to secure a good vantage point…
It has to be said that, once the advertising and support vehicles have passed, its very much, you blink and you miss it, especially the peloton…
Tomorrow, we plan to do what we were supposed to do today, take a wander around the financial district. We then hop back into the WAV to head to our next destination, Avignon!
