Du Midi Hotel Narbonne

... beach we went to have lunch at a restuarant in Marseillan, another small town nearby. I had beef but i had to get the waiter to take it back because when i cut it, it was so raw inside .

... aboard that greatly decreased the rolling of the boat, but this still wasn’t enough to keep two of the guests from getting sea sick. The Captain gave them some motion sickness medicine and had them come up to the bridge where they could clearly see out of the yacht. This helped Nickie, but not Noel who threw up before going to her room to sleep. I spent the afternoon and evening with our other guest’s ...

Well, finally - after a false start setting out to pick up friends from Pau airport a day early! - first night: moored up alongside the Canal du Midi, just south of Beziers. Some very noisy ducks for company... Bit of a gloomy one weather-wise. Rained last night, but forecast suggests brightening up gradually as day goes on. Slowing our departure from ...

It can't be a bad if you manage 41 MPH and diss Jesus by copying his famous pose in a church! It also only dawned on us that we have been cycling through countless Vin yards and NOT stealing. So, grapes soon accompanied every meal. Don't judge me man. This is for charity.

... the Grand Canyon - we sat at the top of the waterfall wading around in the cool water.

We then travelled back to a small town called Lunas where we had dinner in the fab chateau Lunas overlooking the river through the middle of town

This was a great way to end our stay in Herepian

... why not" and headed up the hil like mountain goats with Graeme and Sam leading the way. We made it to the top and were rewarded with great views and a sense of achievement (I guess)

After we got back down it was off to the lovely town of Salasc for a couple of well earned beers before heading back to the house for a late night session of chewing the fat and reminiscing

Yep it was later start however Ethan was very pleased to have Graeme up and endulging in an early morning swim. Jen and Graeme went for a walk while we went and collected up the pastries for a late breakfast

After a lazy morning and lunch we headed up the Gorges D'Heric for a swim in the rock pools. It was fantastic and the coolest we had been in days.

Another barbeque and a considerably quieter evening all round!!!

... at a time. We also helped them build the fencing that is used to keep the vines standing tall....at the end of everyday we were very tired!!! In return for working, they provided us accommodation and meals. We were accommodated in a separate suite attached to their house, which was built in the 1800s.

There was another worker there staying with us from London, Nick. Nick has been working there for 4 months and on his time off is in the ...

The business of owning a condo kept us going back and forth to Narbonne, the closest city to our town. Fortunately it was a pretty place with a lot of history. It was part of Rome at one time. Also we did do a little travelling around the area as well.
