From Jo today - dan :)
Im deliberately taking tiny roads to get anywhere and its really paying of with astounding scenic views. Im only doing a sunday drivers 35mph! Even the sunflowers are tilting their heads to the ground in disapproval! I cant go any faster in this 36′ heat. Today im in the pairofknees on my way to andorra, i wound through a valley and opening up before me was a three tired mountain range i stopped for coffee in a magnificent little medeival village called mirepoix. Yesterday i stayed in a little town called castres which is built literally up to the face of the river, a mini venice. Id stopped in albi for the toulouse lautrec musee, the cathedeal and an inevitable walk around yet another magnificent fish market. Friday saw me in millau and the viaduct is nearly as breath taking as the road to see it atop the montpellier sur la veix by far a better viewpoint than the viaduct info point as you also watch idiots jumping from a ledge with parachutes! Thursday was gramat an uneventful little place where i tried to visit some incredible caves, but i dont do well in ques especially when they are over a km long. So i gave up on this idea, wednesdays cave, church, marty village and meteor site must have counted for something! No fixed plans now other than a day or two in andorra then keep going south! See yer. X
