Up
and on the road by 9.30 with the computer telling us it was only 4
degrees celcius – yeah right – yes right! It was bloody freezing
out there. By the time we got to the centre it had also started to
rain, any colder and ... Read more >

talking until 2am with Nazih we were up at 8 and getting ready to head into
Paris to the Louvre museum. We had been briefed by Nazih on how to

4/11
– We spent a dreary morning in the city of Tours finding the

Rained all night, it's quite nice sleeping in a nice cosy spot with

We
came to a roundabout that circled a HUGE rock (una mas grande roca!)
and on the other side was the old border to exit Spain and enter
France. Before we knew it we were in Montrejeau and turned up a hill

We
skirted Montpellier taking the road out by the Mediterranean Sea but
it wasn't that exciting and the wind was still up and still cold so
the beach wasn't the place to be. It is a sandy beach down this way,

On

new day would bring clear skies ... Read more >

Trying
not to look guilty, acting as dumb as we felt, we noticed the French
border guard's grimace when he discovered we didn't speak French. He
asked where we were going – 'France' , where have we come from –
'Switzerland' . No doubt he was ... Read more >
