From the Atlantic Ocean to the Med. - Day 6

Day 6: Rest Day in Carcassonne

A welcome change from getting up early and sitting on a saddle, today we strolled leisurely into town, found a bar and had breakfast. Several croissants, pain au raisins and chocolatines washed down with hot coffee and a tea for me.

How very civilised
 A bit of sight-seeing around the Cité and then it was time for lunch! This we took a long time over as we were in no rush to go anywhere. Salads as a main course and while I drank beer, Shaun and Barry had jugs of cider. In fact it wasn't the food that kept us there but the constant flow of drink. Eventually we made our way back to the hotel and went for a swim. Lovely.

We saw this in the back garden of an ordinary street

A long mural spelling out the name 'Carcassonne'
No sooner had we digested lunch than it was evening and time to eat again! Off to the square again and this time we had steaks and frites, loading ourselves up for tomorrow's last push to Narbonne.
