Our 7th month

We have not been able to get on the Blog for nearly two months, mainly because we have been in camp sites away from any big towns. We have now found a cafe with WiFi and will send a quick update.
We are now into our seventh month away and we can't believe how well everything has gone. Cicely has been fantastic and we have got so many requests to see inside. We have not seen another one in all 21 sites we have been.
Ian and I have loved every minute of our time here. We are a little fatter due to the amazing wine, food and cheese!! Although fatter we are very healthy and have not had a day of feeeling under the weather. We are very fit and tanned and we walk, cycle or swim everyday. The weather over the 7 months has been fantastic. We have only had a handful of rainy days.
Here are some of the places we have been to in the past two months. The top one was taken at the casino in Monte Carlo, Monaco. It was a different world there- so much money and wealth. Not our favourite place but worth seeing. While on the Cote D'Azur we also visited Cannes, Nice and St Tropez. Our favourite place there was the little village in the mountains where we camped. The wild boar visited us each night.
We also camped near Carcassonne, an amazing medieval city. It was like a fairy tale castle and was used in the filming of Robin Hood.

We spent two weeks in the Pyrenees which was wonderful. We visited Lourdes which was amazing to experience. Thousands of people visit the site every day.
We were very near the Spanish border and spent two days exploring the mountains along the border. In Catalonia we walked through a valley - Val D'Aran and it reminded us so much of Glen Rosa. We climbed up to the snow. The weather was again fantastic- very cold in the mornings but very warm during the days.


16.10.08 We are now down at the Atlantic coast, camping right on the beach. There are miles and miles of sand an
dunes. It is one of the best stretches of surfing beaches in Europe. We tried to swim in the water but were battered by the waves. Photos of here in next Blog.
