I don't have time to do another long post, just letting you know we're in Languedoc-Roussilln in France - St-Liziers to be specific - and we're about to cross the Pyrenees for a short trip into Spain!!
Its incredibly sunny and warm here, the only probem being I don't exactly have the right clothes for this weather! Luckily I bought a skirt in Austria (op-shops rule) but eventually I will have to change.. ha.
Yesterday we went to Grotte de Niaux - an incredible cave that you have to walk for about 20 minutes through (with torches) to reach some incredible prehistoric art. The tour was in French but it was still pretty exciting to see the paintings, knowing how old they were, and the cave itself was spectacular! A very cute baby was on the tour, and displayed to us all the excellent acoustics of the main chamber :)
Before that we checked out Carcassonne, to try and get some of those iconic pictures (didn't work so well) and a whole string of magnificent Cathar Castles, all perched on top of impressive rocky outcrops.
At the moment we're in a supermarket carpark having breakfast, stealing macca's free wifi and generally feeling pretty good :)
In other news:
Europe is obsessed with Natalie Imbruglia. But that's ok cos, honestly, so are we.
The constant playing of 'Torn' was just interrupted by 'Beds are Burning' at this supermarket. Odd. Homesick-inducing.
For a continent so obsessed with cheese, and with so many cows, you really wouldn't expect this morbid fear of fresh milk.
One of the best pizzas we've had came from the back of a van. Not just any van. It had a freaking wood-fired oven in the back of it. So now we're planning a pizza-van adventure through Europe where we finance our own journeying through selling gourmet pizza. Except for the whole where-would-we-sleep problem.
aaaaand now its time to go see the word.
love! x
