A day in Carcassonne


Dirty washing collected which was 99% of clothing and taken to laundrette, only to find the first two were closed but luckily another customer arrived with her loads and she beckoned us to follow her to the other end of the city. An hour later, washing all done, we set off to visit the mediaeval city of Carcassone. This was very interesting and had numerous shops to keep Shirley busy dashing in an out of doorways but unable to carry anything she couldn't make any purchases!! Afternoon spent in modern part of city and managed to get camera charged so when we go out for dinner this evening to the mediaeval part of the city we will take some photos to add to the blog. Quiet day compared with most and it actually rained but still quite warm.
Distance: 0 k

  1. Great to hear you have reached the 1000 mark and are in Carcassone. Isnt it a lovely place - even in the rain. Hope you enjoyed your day off and are dying to get back on your bikes. Next time you go off cycling you should really wear Scottish badges sewn into all your clothing so you would be easy to spot from a distance, not have people right up your back before they see your flag. You are both doing really well and I hope you enjoy the next part of your trip. x
