Filled with vineyards and wineries. Weather hasn’t
been the best since we have been back in France. Heading out of Andorra was an eye
opener we travelled thru snow on the road sides up high in the mountains.
We decided to pay the two lots
of tunnel tolls (total 12.60 Euro) and save our motor/brakes from driving over
the top of the Pyrenees. We expected to
be stopped at customs on the way out, instead no one was manning our side, and
they were checking every vehicle coming in from the French border. This meant a backlog of cars down the
mountain – I reckon it was at least 10km of cars and they weren’t moving fast –
poor bastards! It was right to the end of our driver's side mirror in this photo just about out of sight.
The motorbikes were
cruising up past them and one car was trying to do the same on our side of
road, when we came to him he had to fight is way back into the queue and no one
made that easy for him. I think most of the
cars would have an entire day’s wait.
Tonight will be our fifth night back in France and we are very spoilt
today (and yesterday) with each campsite having it’s own private ensuite –
bliss! Especially after last nights toilets.
Last night a storm came through Port Grimaud, we were already with our ensuite and had moved gas bottle,
bbq, etc into there in case we needed to move downstairs in the night - we did! And it was a very smooth dry evaculation it was too!
Our plot flooded and so we improvised with our cooked from the sliding door - Sunday's was Daryl's night so two guesses what we got.
We had to use kiwi ingenuity last night when the ground was too soggy to hold our canopy, out came our wooden spoon, it did the trick nicely.
Seen the
first Splitty since we began this trip yesterday and a high top bay the other day,
apart from that it’s all T25’s.
