Our big plan

Next summer, my husband Tom and I are going to do something crazyбезумный: we're going to cycleехать на велосипеде from London to Barcelona!

We aren't professional cyclists. We work in an office and we usually go to the gym twice a week. But we love adventuresприключения, and our children are at university now, so it's the perfect time.

The trip is about 1,500 kilometres. We're going to cycle about eighty kilometres a day and we're going to stay in small hotels and campsitesкемпинги. We're going to cross the sea by ferryпаром to France, and then cycle south through the countrysideсельская местность.

Are we going to be tired? Definitely! Look at the map — there are mountains near the borderграница with Spain. I think it's going to be very hard. But Tom says the views are going to be fantastic.

Next month we're going to buy new bikes and start trainingтренировки. Tomorrow I'm going to tell my mum about the plan. I don't think she's going to like it!
