Residence La Barbacane Carcassonne

... 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!<br>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 ...

... modern city to go to the laundromat....CLEAN CLOTHES HERE I COME!! I have never missed a washing machine and dryer more than on this trip!! (When we were in Africa and our clothes were washed, it was all done by hand and then hung to dry, so it didn't have the nice smell to it that it does when you do it at home in the washing machine and dryer!). So I did ALL of my laundry...it was sooo nice to go back to clean clothes...definitely am going to do wash more ...

Leaving Las Laous today was *************e was soo sad that even the mountains were crying. Grey cloud filled the valley and the moisture poured from the sky. <br><br>At the end of the lane was our road towards Foix announcing the rise to the Col de Peguere. Not as well known as the Col de Port, but much higher. We would leave 947m and rise to 1375m in a mere 3.5km. That means that for every 10m we rode forward, we would be ...

... her to eat when she returns. We chatted at the table until it was time to figure out where we were off to next. Conrad worked on printing maps for where we were to go in Barcelona while I worked on yesterday's blog entry to upload later. <br><br>We left at noon. I think that both of us wished that we could have stayed another day. That has seemed to be the case at ...

... I hope the photos turned out. Outside the castle are some vineyards; I am in France. <br><br>Two of my roommates are med school students from the Czech Republic. It is extremely expensive for them to travel in France which they are doing for a month. They have hitch hiked there way everywhere. I suggested that rather than walking to the perimeter of a city (which is where they start their hitchhiking) that this would be good use of E1 on a public bus to save time. They agreed.

I had the day off yesterday (a nice little treat because to be honest the work is so cruisey it hardly feels like work at all) and went to the city of Carcassonne. It was very cool.<br><br>There are two parts to it, the old and the new. The old city is a full on medieval castle with a wall around it, it was awesome wandering ...

... to Girona (Spain) After checking out of the boat said goodbye to Winky, Jenny, Huw and Camilla as we were all heading off in different directions. Cesca had a postcard that she wanted to send to NZ so we wandered around looking for a post office. I was sure I had seen one in the old town and so we looked everywhere for it to with no luck, We gave up and went to the supermarket which turned out to be right next to the post office! Cesca was not impressed as her new Birkenstocks had ...

... a fost o bucata de carne cruda increstata si incalzita pe la colturi pe care am cedat-o dragului meu, care s-a sacrificat si mi-a donat puiul pe care apoi eu l-am impartit cu fetitz. Vorba aia, el haleste orice e in bucatarie, e celebru. Doar ca, dupa ce s-a chinuit cu friptura asta, care asa de rau imi pare ca nu mai stiu cum ii zice (ceva cu m(aigre?!... si din mai multe cuvinte :p ) il vad ca il cheama pe ospatar cu gravitate, fara sa ...
