French countryside, courteous drivers, and so many war graves

Day 2 of our bike trip around the battlefields of the First World War was easier going – flat and only approximately 60kms (as opposed to the 90kms of hilly terrain through the Somme yesterday).  Some of the worst statistics for deaths in any one battle though as we visited Fromelles, Australias first battle on the Western Front where over 5,300 died in one day.
