Tuesday we visited the medieval town of Carcassonne.
They say it is one of the best kept medieval fortress in France and maybe
even Europe. It was impressive to walk around in this fully functional
town, catering so nicely for the tourists...
All the towers and walls are intact and quite a few also still have wooden
walkways around.
We are learning and this time we enjoyed our "artisan" (homemade) lunch and
only went exploring for our coffee.
After having explored the rest of the medieval town and spent a good EUR 12
on bisquits for the evening, we devided to take a walk through the
remaining town. The town has a really good atmosphere in the shopping area
as well. We made our way up to Gare SNCF abd bought tickets for Perpignan
to Barcelona on Friday morning. This was the only thing we weren't
completely sure was possible.
At the end of the day we raced home to the house to make a braai.
We made lamb chop for Nic and a nice steak for Mic. I have enjoyed the
steak with a nice bottle of Carbades feom the neighbouring town...
It is 21.45 and we are still able to sit on the terrace, drinking coffee
and our EUR 12 bisquits... They are allright.
