It’s been one of those days where nothing seems to go right and I have a run of bad luck.
Firstly, I left the campsite and immediately got lost trying to find the coastal road that would take me north to Sete. I found one road but it said no cyclists so I had to go back to where I’d come from.
Secondly, I used my GPS to navigate me to Sete although it was on the setting to avoid Highways. This normally would be a good thing but it mean it was trying to get to Sete via all the minor roads. So I ended up going completely the wrong direction, and ended up further from Sete than when I started. It took me all afternoon to catch my time up and meant I had to ride over 100 miles today.
Thirdly, I get beeped at if I don’t use the cycle lanes. Normally I just ignore them but the one next to the beach looked ok so I joined it. With some speed behind me I hit some deep sand where the dune had spilled 
across the cycle path. I thought I was coming off, how I managed to control it I have no idea as my front wheel wasn’t even straight. I think the momentum helped to some degree.
Fourthly, Today has been the hottest day I’ve experienced since Portugal.
Fifthly, I joined the canal du Rhone from Aigues Mortes to Beaucaire. This was fine at first but the track ended so I had to get on the road. This is when my GPS packed in and kept turning itself off. It wouldn’t come on at all and this was my only form of navigation. Luckily it started working again after an hour or so, but for how long.
Finally, I booked into a lemon hotel. There are restaurants around but they are all shut and I just missed the supermarket too. I had a pizza delivered and when getting my fork out of my pannier it fell over. The lid came off my washing liquid and poured all inside my pannier, covering my sleeping bag.
Surely nothing else can go wrong today?
I’m just outside Beaucaire. I’m considering cycling to Marseille tomorrow and getting a ferry to Corsica as opposed to getting one from Nice.
