At around 3pm local time we finally arrived at Maison Alaric! Although in true holiday we did have a slight dilemma when we arrived. With Stella's bad thoughts of 'too good to be true, the house doesn't exist' running through our heads, we arrived at the road unable to locate the house. After a few moments of wondering the 'adults' finally discovered they had driven right past the massive sign. Doh! Our official arrival time was not until 5pm so as we were early we parked our cars and walked the short stroll into town, sat at the first restaurant and ordered drinks. The adults table consisted of Rob, Stella, Dudley, Vicky, Katherine, and Andrew whilst the kids table was Dylan, Brandon, Emma, Alice, Lewis, Elliot and I. Even though I am 18 I still consider ... read more

We awoke the next morning to clear skies and warm weather as the storm had finally passed. After a quick shower we met with the Ports for breakfast in the hotels main building. A beautiful traditional French spread was available to us as well as juices, coffee and tea. After breakfast we collected our stuff from the hotel, reloaded the car and set off towards Milau. Dudley drives, and is very protective of, a left hand drive American truck which is about 3 times the size of our tiny car! Despite his very stern and clear statement that he 'does not do U turns' and will find another way out of Chanac started the journey by first driving on the wrong side of the road and then by having to complete a U turn, much to ... read more

Hi guys! Sorry this entry is pretty late. I returned from my trip to Pezenas, France on the 24th and have been non-stop busy ever since! As the title of this post suggest I had a fantastic holiday :) This had to do with the area, journey, accommodation as well as people and activities. After a stressful time dealing with things at home getting away was a perfect relaxation. We hired a Manor House in Pezenas, France as a group of 16. For me, the holiday begins the moment the journey starts - in this case 4:30am Friday August 8th. I was awoken by my Dad and sleepily got dressed and loaded my final luggage pieces into our tiny old car (who deserves an award for getting us down and back from the South of France ... read more

Our journey from Millais to Pezenas began . We drove from the bridge through some very different countryside. The hills dominated and we passed through the many passes blasted out of the hills arriving at the town of Pezenas in the early afternoon. Reception was closed and a sign invited us to pick a plot, park up and come back to pay at 2pm when the staff returned from their siesta. I quite like the sound of siesta time. As you get older sleeping for an hour or two appeals in the afternoon. We had chosen Camping Castelsec as our stop over for the night. Part of the camping hotel it reminded us of Camping Regio at Salamanca although less salubrious and Batistina area of Rome . Car parks waiting for the night life of the ... read more

Days 8 & 9 Two wonderful days interrupted only by crap rooms in Cap D'Agde. The Carmargue Thursday. Hours spent birdwatching and wandering What a truly beautiful wilderness. Then went to the coast. Yesterday we spent the morning swimming in the sea and lazing on the beach before motoring into the counryside to find a B&B Liz Bloxham recommended. What a place! Wonderful hospitality, stunning views, infinity pool to laze in after a hot day. Could this be heaven? May well be off line for a few days now. ... read more
