Usually we have some idea where we might go the night before ... but sometimes our plans change in the middle of the day.
Coming out of Switzerland and into France a couple years ago, the traffic was so heavy and the road so narrow that by the time we had gone about 30 or 40 km we were exhausted and frustrated. We were going to cycle another 30 or 40 km to the next town and possibly venture toward Italy, but decided instead to get a train. 2 days later we were in Perpignan near the border of Spain.
On another occasion, we were hanging about at the end of the PBP when someone mentioned Strasbourg and the Rhine Route in a passing conversation. We had been thinking of heading toward the Loire Valley or someplace like that, but just then Rowan turned to me and asked what I thought of going to Strasbourg. Sure why not ... next day we were on our way.
