Day 9: “Barthelona” (Kit)
Kit: Today is a massive driving day, with our first stop at Pont du Gard where an ancient Roman aqueduct is located. The aqueduct fed the nearby city of Nimes over the Gard River. This is our first intact Roman structure we've seen on this trip so far! It was pretty quiet when we arrived in the morning, but it turns out to be a popular field trip …
"Your Face!" (Castellers, Correfoc and kids)

And then my first steps on French soil.

Hola. Love the Spanish lisp
... won´t say their name for fear of being sued but it was a Middle Eastern Airline and NOT one that starts with E. Never flying with these people again. No wonder those f&%$·)ers hijack planes - it´s probably the only way to get any bloody service. The plane was dirty, the legroom was woeful compared to SIA and on both legs the inconsiderate pigs sitting in front of me reclined their chairs to the maximum. God I wish I had Jimmy with me, he ...
