Day two acutally took the riders through Draguinan but we decided to head into Brignoles to see the finish. We had a little fun, first trying to get out of town and then getting to the finish due to road closures near the course. We eventually got there, just in time for the caravane but there were so many people that we didn't actually manage to get anything and, instead, found a shaded spot behing the bleechers and had a snack.
Glen and Dad then scouted around and found a spot on a bend 450m before the end of the course. Although it only took moments for the riders to go past it was pretty exciting to have them all rush past. Mum was vey impressed as you just don't get the same feeling watching it on tv and she hadn't quite appreciated how close they all rode together and at such fast speeds.
(Not very good but my only shot of Cadel from the day)

We then had another meal at McDonalds so we could check email, upload blog entries and Mum could skype Aunty Jo.
