Back into the airport this morning to find the bikes had arrived safe and well. However there is still no sign of our other panniers. We each still have one missing. I should be ok as long as the weather stays good as it is mainly my bad weather gear which is missing along with our stove and cooking gear ( I didn't think there was much chance of us doing much cooking anyway) Sandra on the other hand is missing a fair bit of stuff including some clothes, her biking shoes and, apparently most important, her makeup!
Anyway, we got the train into Arles today. This had always been our plan since the roads around Marseilles airport look pretty dodgy for cycling. There was a fantastic market in Arles when we arrived and we spent the afternoon shopping for essentials such as toiletries, puncture repair kits and dresses ( I didn't bother with a new dress for myself). We also made a few unsuccessful calls to try to track down our bags.
This evening we went back into Arles for a wander round the old part of town and ended up in their Arena, a mini Coloseum, for a "Roman Spectaculaire" which was pretty cheesy apart from the short course chariot racing which was quite impressive.
Tomorrow we'll try to call and see if there is any info on the missing bags, but if not we'll just hit the road with what we have.
