6th june
after a roasty toasty night with the satisfaction of the walk behind us, we had a melon breakfast before packing our beautifully clean rucsacks with soap scented kit and strolled down to the beach to release our pebbles into the Med. Many pepeole wished us a pleasant walk, and it was. We browsed the shops and strolled on the beach taking pictures. However we were keen to see Myfanwy again so we headed up for the train. However a misreading of the the timetable meant an hour wait on the bench, opening sunflower seeds which fairly passed the hour. We fired up the stove for a last camp stove coffee and watch the ants carrying away our sunflower husks. Tenacious beasties, they just can't be beaten. Jose at Parcar was surprised to see us. However we were reunited with our van and like a new puppy she wet herself. Oh bugger said Lawr we have a leaky fresh water tank..
So we went off and shopped till we dropped, about a whole 20mins, then went back to la bacares, the beach and flat ground.
highs - van, pebble release, 'proper' bed
lows - water tank leak, rugby match in Montpellier not Perpignan,
note - will have to scrub baked bird poo from van roof.
7th june
woke up early and donned the club cycle tops and went for a spin along to st cyprean. It was tough as the muscles have forgotten the movement. Tried to run along the beach but got overtaken by some toddlers with their buckets and spades. Sorted the leak, looked through walking pictures (which there were surprisingly few of!) Sampled some regional wine and local apricots.
highs - cycle, apricots, wine, van
lows - still ache
note - check the maps you have before you buy another set
8th june
long lie and leisurely breakfast, then a local market to be browsed. It was a beautiful day and the sea was calm-ish. We went to speak with the lifeguards who laughed when we told them abut swimming in a wetsuit, after all the sea was a warm 20'c. So clad in speedos, swimming, hats and goggles we went in and it was hot! We were in for about 20mins, still not sure about sea swimming but it was lovely. Hate McD's but internet access is free so coffee and blog updates.
Packed for cycle, which we have brought forward.
high - sea swim, cherries, plodding about beach
lows - sunburnt head, packing
note - after 1month the med is now warm.
