Hotel Le Mas Pierrot Vinassan

... in many harbors, this one was very industrial and the city center wasn’t just at the end of the ramp. It didn’t take long for Nickie and Noel to feel a lot better so all the girls put on their pajamas and brought their pillows and blankets to the main salon to watch a movie. It turned out to be a cozy, warm and comfortable evening with popcorn, snacks, drinks and cuddling all up in a huge blob with the girls.

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 ...

... hill full of massive bugs and locusts. It was this night I had my first freak out. We were drinking wine whilst engaging in philisophical convosation when I heard a noise which sounded exactly like Hyienas. When I turned to see six massive badgers I ran and screamed like a small girl to my tent. The most embarassing part is that I hadn't registered them as badgers and I was screaming "Hyienas!!"

Tout le monde sait qu'un voyage de 2 mois ne s'improvise pas et nécessite quelque peu d'organisation. Tout le monde? C'est ce que je me disais jusqu'ā ce qu'on m'appelle le vendredi 17 juillet alors que j'étais encore en vacances pour me demander si j'étais intéressé par une prestation en Hollande.
"Allo Pysnoo. Serais-tu intéressé pour partir en Hollande?

... 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!!!

... stadium for concerts during the summer.

Next we drove up the road to the Pont d Gard which is a huge roman aquaduct built nearly 2000 years ago to carry water from Uzes to the town of Nimes.

Graeme and Rita arrived at about 5:30 and we had a barbque and a few local wines. A lovely evening all in all

... tillsammans med dem, två rundor; där den första var slagtävling vilken vanns av Anita. Den andra var en par och birdie tävling, där Christer vann. Björn gjorde birdie och bjöd efteråt på birdiewhisky på balkongen. Under tiden vi spelade gjorde Kurre och Soli en tur till Sete på egen hand. Idag den 3 mars har vi visat Ekmans Montpellier.

... Randonée system, but we need to find the book that describes the trails to have a better understanding. In addition to the driving in France commentary: close your eyes on some of these roads! On our way to our 'mountain hike' we had a bit of road climbing to do first - along a road with white line in middle - normal under most circumstances, except when the road is only barely wide enough for one vehicle to start with! 2 November ...
