TdF Day 21 - Nothing Toulouse

Team Bayley's last day on the tour and we had to leave our Le Bugue house to get them to Toulouse for an early morning flight to Paris, then to Singapore via London .... Quite a trek!
The drive to Toulouse was more adventurous than first thought as our satnav Bruce sent us on an interesting course. He seems to have an unhealthy preference for D roads.
Not a lot of time to see the sights of Toulouse as it is a good sized city and we took a hotel closer to the airport.Took the bus in through Friday afternoon traffic and immediately struck by how young the population appears to be - its a university town containing most of the high-tech industries. Bars were jumping and when we trekked to find our preferred restaurant, it wasn't opened (of course).
Final meal with the Bayleys was at Le Coq Dor ...... The Golden Cock ...... But of course! Nice meal and good wines, finished by champagne at the hotel. Team Bayley will be surely missed in the Pelaton over the difficult second half of the tour. Margy was the team witch-doctor keeping us on the road and Micks running commentary kept up our spirits while the TD abused our car navigation.
