Hotel Vidal Céret

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 ...

Refuelled and probably feeling sleepy we will transfer to Perpignian airport (1hr) in time for the
1715 flight back to Stansted.

WHAT I EXPERIENCED:

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.

... the 25th September and need to fit in some time to pack and make different arrangements.
