Day: 2 October 2011

La Grande-Motte, France

No sleep last night. The flat is lovely and so is the bed, so no excuses really.
Dawn had planned for us to join her friends for lunch, but because we felt so tired, we declined the invitation and had a very quiet morning at home.
We did pop out to the market for a short while. There were so many people buying and the stall holders were in full flight with their sales banter.

Luckily Dawn had filled the fridge so we tucked into lunch, had a short nap then headed out again to wander about. It is still very hot. Whilst out we tried the free Wifi outside the tourism office.

Had a marvellous dinner out having chosen a place earlier, only to discover it was closed at 7pm. Many places are open during the day, but not the evening. Dawn headed out to join us, but because we were not where we said we would be, she missed us.

However, we had a big catch up when we got in.

And hopefully a good nights sleep!

La Grande-Motte, France

It was another blue dome day as we drove out of Auriol on our way to La Grande Motte, Languedoc.

The trip went pretty smoothly until we came across stopped cars around a bend on a motorway. Fortunately we stopped and no-one piled into us. We crawled along for simply ages until we came across the cause – a shocking accident.

We arrived at the apartment at lunchtime. It is great to see Dawn again.

After a large lunch, we chatted until the early evening when we went for a walk around the town, enjoying the atmosphere of families and friends in cafes and on the beach. We stopped for a drink before heading back to the apartment.

Supper.
Heaps more chat, then off to bed.
Bon nuit!
