... to enjoy each-others company.

But as time passed I felt increasingly constricted, both literally and figuratively. The house was a dust trap, with cats and dogs everywhere. It wreaked serious havoc on my lungs, and got progressively worse. At night I didn't so much fall asleep, as go unconscious due to oxygen deprivation. I also felt constricted with regards to my personal space. Most of the house was without electricity, and therefore had no lighting, so I ...

I can't complain about my tasks here at Tabithas. When I first arrived we spent a couple days working on the driveway, patching holes in the gravel, and pouring cement gutters to prevent too much water running down and forming grooves. The driveway is long, and seriously rutted in sections, a lot of work remains. Something ...

... perspective that is. He can't quack, like the other ducks do. Instead he does an asthmatic hiss sort of thing. If you've ever watched the Simpsons, he sounds just like Sideshow Bob when he gets hit in the face with a rake. Donald wags his tail, like a dog, but it doesn't mean that he's happy, it just means he's excited. He's about to do something mean.

Today, Tabitha and I were sitting at the table having lunch. Suddenly, there was a ...

I've come from the land of pig, olives and tomatoes, and landed right in the middle of wine country. The scenery here is dominated by perfectly straight rows of grape vines, climbing their way up the rolling foot hills of the Pyrenees. With strong influences from both the Atlantic and Mediterranean, the area allows for slow even ripening of the grapes.

When I was in Carcassone I was approached by some sort of religious missionary (I didn't really care to ask him ...

... under 10,000. Kinda makes you wonder if it's in the water, or if it just attracts that type.

I sit in the room and, meet the other volunteers. Not much English is spoken, so I sit, listen, and write. I borrow a phone to call Tabitha again, and end up leaving another message. A short while later, she returns my call. She's embarrassed certainly, apologizes profusely, and explains her situation. She won't be long she promises.

As I sit and write, all types walk ...

... was ****in awesome... google it to see what I mean... the craziest part about it is that people still live there...in the city! it is about 3 km around the whole thing, it is super cute inside, there are cafès and shops, a church and many old old buildnig where people still live!
We walked back to the hotel later and relaxed, then we went on a hunt for the grocery store, to our surprise, the "casino" across the highway was the store, Casino is just the name for the super ...

... to find 3 bedrooms and 3 en-suites on board. On the way back to shore we had our first overboard casualty as I accidentally kicked my new Birkenstock sandal into the canal. To even up the damage I had to put the other one in too. We went for some lunch where Winky and Huw had some frog's legs and to the supermarket before returning back to the port. The mechanic gave us a quick lesson in the boats facilities and how to drive it! Then it was a quick blast 400m down the canal to our ...

... nav to come around to my way of thinking with some subtle programming changes (well shouting hadn't worked) and I must admit I ignored it a couple of times in Carcassonne and I was wrong. It was worth the journey from sat nav hell, I still can't believe the city I have ended up in, my hostel is inside a medieval city, I can't even begin to describe how amazing the place is so lets hope the photos can do ...

... surprise, 3 days before Bastille Day, we were able to obtain two tickets. Our scheduled return train was at midnight and the City of Fire was set to start at 10:30pm and end by 11pm. However, the lady at the ticket counter warned us that it would be very busy and we should plan to find a location where we could quickly get to the train station when the fireworks were over. We arrived in Carcassonne around 2pm and spent the ...
