We pitched our tent near the bottom of the gorge. Weather has changed, it is almost warm @ night even.
Because we were up early we could enjoy the Gorge that cuts some 500 m into the stone with hardly any people around (it's sunday).
The Eremitage hadn't even opened when we first arrived...Read more

Great views with blue sky all around us.
We are @ ca. 910 m, can both see the Mediterranean for the first time and also some pyrenean peaks covered in snow.

A really nice village with a small supermarket and great views from the hill overlooking the mill. Had this funny idea of buying a house there...

My favourite castle so far. It had been Aragonian until it became French in the 13th century.
Fantastic views from up there including towards Peyrepertuse.

A late start from the campsite in Tuchan because we had to sort out some problems.
Finally a nice supermarket in town plus an ATM. We had been down to less than 10 EUR.

Walked through many vinyards and plucked many grapes left over from the harvest. Yummie! 😋

And yet another castle 😉Read more

Visible from far away.
Anne was a bit unhappy because the hike went up the hill because of the statue... 😥

Last day hiking from Durban-Corbières to the sea. A hot day hiking through la Garrique with interspersed vinyards and a pretty town (Roquefort) after more than 15k.
Like yesterday a longish hike at almost 30k but great with more and more views of the see.
Even found a female glowworm.. 😊Read more

Port-la-Nouvelle: we've done it !
October 6, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
After more than 3 weeks we have arrived at our destination: Port-la-Nouvelle. It was a hot day and first stop had to be the beach where we took a swim in the warm sea.
Now we are staying at a small studio until Saturday morning, when we will go back by train via Basel.
Feels strange, I could easily go on hiking for a while.
Feels funnyRead more

Banyuls-sur-Mer: Great wines
October 7, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
We had one day left and also one travel-day on our Interrail pass to spare.
Banyuls isn't too far away and on top of that the origin of one of France's most famous Vin doux naturel.
Of course, we had all too little time but got to taste some samples and learned a lot about wine-making.
Both near Port-la-Nouvelle and along most of the coast there were heaps of flamingoes in the shallow lagunes and salinas.Read more
