Le Galion Canet-en-Roussillon

Mid afternoon we arrived into Collioure just north of the Spanish border. It was a little port town with a fort and palace and Kim feel in love immediately. We parked up at the fort and made our way down to the old town where little cafes lined the harbor. The afternoon sun was divine so we went sat on the beach and dipped our feet in. As the sun went down the cafes closed and no hotels were open out of season so we headed back to Scooby for some ...

... br>restaurants serving a fine range of seafood.

For those heading home straight away there will be time to box up your bikes, shower and
change before lunch - we have made arrangements with a local hotel to use their facilities.
Refuelled and probably feeling sleepy we will transfer to Perpignian airport (1hr) in time for the
1715 flight back to Stansted.

WHAT I EXPERIENCED:

... Sauveur. Next up
is the Col De Tourmalet (2115m), a mountain climb which needs no introduction. After a bit of
souvenir shopping at the top (where there is also a great café with some interesting Tour de
France artefacts), we descend to St Marie De Campan, and from here to our hotel in Campan.

WHAT I EXPERIENCED:

Arrived Banyuls around 3.30 yesterday afternoon. Spending the next couple of days in Collioure soaking up the sun and relaxing until my flight home on Wednesday. Will plan to update the blog in detail when I arrive home.

Cheerio for now

... 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.

... spot everytime and is knocked up in about 6 minutes flat and wolfed down in about the same.

No dramas to report thus far, oh apart from yesterday I really thought I was being followed by a vagabond and managed to convince myself I was going to be killed by an axe weilding madman. I even sent a description by text to Sally in the hope that when I was found missing she'd be able to give a description of my kidnapper. It turns out he ...

... Salvador Dali. Of course, we simply had to go there and visit the Dali Museum, our son's favourite artist. Sorry you couldn’t be here to see it Brandon, but you will need to make the trip, it’s truly fantastic and Dali certainly was one wacked out guy. We spent almost two hours wandering through the museum. We were surprised to learn that Dali lived almost 85 years and you could really see how his art transitioned ...

... Ciotat good parking nice gravel beaches which had their own Police surveillance too 30/8/2004 Set off to go to Valras Plage, found that there was a Camping Cheques site in nearby Vendres Plage called Les Vagues. We arrived here during Siesta (12-2:30), the reception staff refused to deal with English guests until the English member of staff was on duty. Although we were allowed to find a pitch and set-up camp but that was all. Pitches 99% sandy lots of shade, Electricity ...
