Novotel - Narbonne (Sud)

... led to like a small wine cellar. We didnt leave there until about 4 like when we left Dijon last time.
But we had some fun in the car on the way back. This time everyone travelled back in the car; Oliver, Natacha, Julliete and me =) We blasted some music ( english songs ^^) and we played a car game but i had to think of french words and they had to think of english ones haha.
Im getting use to eating here and lately my appitite ...

... cards in the upper decks salon. Sometimes the rolling of the yacht would cause our cards and chips to slide about, but overall it wasn’t too bad. If anything it just added to the excitement and adventure of it all. Although it looked like I was going to win, in the end a few bad hands lost everything.

We arrived in Marseille around 9:30 PM. It was windy and cold in Marseille, so no one felt like going out ...

... to allow rain in Italy to clear. Want to re-visit Lake Garda, see if we can't get the spot right next to the lake we last had some 15 years ago, say. Don't know if it's a good idea to go back to the site of happy memories: can you improve on them in any way, or only spoil their rosy glow?
All well with rig, thankfully - you hardly know it's there!

... 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!!"

... bah d'accord. Et quand dois-je y être?
Bah dans 4 jours!
Ahhhhh, me dis-je intérieurement, mais non!!! Ok, donc on voit tout ça lundi.
A bientôt!"

Bon, super, je viens d'apprendre que je pars mardi en Hollande pour 4 mois et je n'ai qu'une journée pour tout organiser.

Super, bon bah sur ce, on va aller à la plage, peut-être est-ce une mauvaise blague et que il n'y aura plus rien ce soir ;)

All good things have to end and we said good bye to Graeme and Rita. After having a swim and moping around Sam said - thats it - lets go out, so off went.

The first stop was St Guiliem le desert which is a lovely little town north of Herepian. We then went on to Cirque de Navacalles which is ...

Another leisurely start and then off out we went after a big hail storm that delayed our departure until after lunch.

We headed up towards lake Saligou to add our names to the banks of red rock and then we founded a site where there are dinosaur footprints. Quite an interesting site

On looking up the nearby hill Greame saw a ruin so after looking at each other we ...

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!!!

... quiet French city. When Brian and I got off our first train ride in Narbonne we started wandering through the city to see what we could do to pass the time. As we were walking we ran into a sign on a building that said Narbonne information and thought we would go in and see if we could learn a little about the city. To our surprise the man at the desk was not there to give tourist information about the city, but was ...

Papiers! S'il vous plaît! ID! If you please! What if I don't pleas? What if I was actually deep in the heavenly world of sluber after a long hot day? Get a job, buy a house and lock it is probably the answer. The police are fairly friendly once they are sure we are not too foreign and try out some rubbish English on us in the car. Kindly get a lift to a supermarket ...
