Geo: 42.0534, 3.1976723/4/11 Warm and overcast 19 oC am Hot & Sunny pm 23 oC We had torrential rain and were buffeted by extremely strong winds most of the night; and couldn't help but hope it would change in time for the kid's arrival tomorrow. Anyway the day started far better than expected everything was intact and my potted herb garden was now swimming in 50ml of water, I said it was torrential didn't !We've named our women neighbours in the camper (Mona & Lisa) Just before lunch Mona appeared and started to wash things up whilst Lisa disconnected the mains lead to the camper, they're off we thought feeling better already.

Geo: 42.0534, 3.197678/4/11 A bright but cooler day around 18 oCI'm told the site WI-FI should be available from Monday so that'll be good.

Geo: 42.0534, 3.19767We crossed the Millau viaduct in the early hours such an amazing sight, I never tire of it, such sylph like beauty towering out of the mist and the little lights of the town of Millau many metres below; for some wonderful photos of the viaduct and a brief description visit the architects website at http://www.fosterandpartners.com/Projects/1158/Default.aspx We stopped off at the Millau péage rest area for a couple of hours rest before continuing our journey on to Beziers, which we were please to discover has or rather will have an excellent bypass when it's finished. Beziers the last but one bottle neck on the route south, the other being the circumnavigation of Perpignan which unless you've done it before is a nightmare, especially as I'm banned from taking the slower but more direct route ... read more
