Day 34
... an experience to be had. We reach Lagrasse too late to visit anything, but do get to see the abbey in all its physical splendour in the last light of the day. All in all, we've only travelled about 150 kms, but we've seen so much. Peter took one last walk to the bridge and la cite tonight, (a youth asked him for a cigarette and some guys in a car asked him for directions - nice to know he fits in like a local) while I caught up with the blogs, before ...

It is a glorious, sunny day - such a long time since we've seen its smiling face - hope it sticks around. I checked that there was a poste in la cite before we came, and even wrote down the address. It must have been a figment of my imagination because la poste does not exist in la cite. So, into the car and drive to the basse ville to the parking souterraine in ...
Day 30
... lot more traffic than yesterday - going very fast. It is still grey and drizzling, but not quite as cold as northern France. The undulating countryside gives way to more defined hills, initially small but getting bigger as we travel south through western France. Once again, we have the toll - no toll routine on the same road. Today we need to stop for petrol - we discover that on the car's display, when the tank is full, it displays a maximum number ...
