2023年9月26日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
We had lunch at Mirador de Esperit (Alt 1800 metres) around 1pm on the Aiguestortes plateau. After lunch Richard walked back to the car partly along the road to avoid some of the roughest sections of the foot track. Karen, Yvonne and I continued walking on the Aiguestortes plateau to the cirque Estant Llong (Alt 1950 metres) and took photos. We returned to coffee at the nearby Refugio Estant Llong around 3.15pm before walking back towards the car. At the Mirador de Esperit where we had lunch around 4.15pm we obtained the last 3 places in a shuttle van which drove us down to the car park where the car was. Richard had already arrived at the car. Back at Hostal La Placa Erill Catalan Spanish Pyrenees around 5pm. Shower and washed clothes. Out to dinner after 7pm but had difficulty in finding a open restaurant. Eventually a hotel in Boi gave us a very cheap meal including a bottle of house red.

Torla Huesca province Wed 27 Sep 2023
2023年9月27日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
While driving towards our accommodation in Torla at 2.45pm a car over the centre of the road hit the drivers side mirror and the Ford collision assist failed to detect an possible head on collision! We were unable to stop as there was nowhere to pull over. To our surprise the other vehicle turned around and followed us to the next village called Fiscal where Karen exchanged details with difficulty with the other driver who only spoke Spanish or French. This took about an hour. There was minimal damage to the mirror housing on the rental car. Good thing we paid to have the insurance excess covered. Drove on to our accommodation at the Edelweiss Hotel in Torla in the Huesca province of the Aragon autonomous region in the Spanish Pyrenees. Arrived around 4.30pm. Richard and Karen had 1 room and Yvonne and I had another. Walked around the old town area after 5.30pm and returned to our rooms for showers and to wash some clothes. Dinner nearby at 7.30pm and back at the Edelweiss Hotel in Torla in the Huesca province of the Aragon autonomous region in the Spanish Pyrenees around 9.15pm.もっと詳しく

Domme Dordogne France Tue 3 Oct 2023
2023年10月3日, フランス ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
After the cave tour Yvonne and I had coffee. We returned to the car using a different gate through the town wall passing cyclamen growing wild while walking outside the town wall. We arrived at the car around 5.15pm and drove to our accommodation at Cottage du Capiol en Perigord, Le Capiol, Cenac-et-Saint-Julien in the French Dordogne region and arrived around 6pm. The cottage was a three story semi with a different design and age to the attached buildings on either side. The ground floor had a bedroom which Karen and Richard used. The first floor had the living area. The attic is where Yvonne and I slept. Each floor was connected by steep curving staircases. At 7pm walked into Cenac-et-Saint-Julien to purchase dinner.

Dordogne River walk Wed 4 Oct 2023
2023年10月4日, フランス ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Up at 7.45am and washed the in bath with a hand rose. Richard went to the patisserie and purchased croissants which we ate with breakfast 8.30am. Foggy morning. We left Cottage du Capiol en Perigord, Le Capiol, Cenac-et-Saint-Julien in the Dordogne French region and walked towards the Dordogne River around 10.30am. We then followed a riverside path beside the Dordogne river downstream to the village of La Roque-Gageac in the Dordogone French region. We purchased a salad lunch at a large open air restaurant around 12.30pm in the village of La Roque-Gageac and then walked back to our accommodation at Cottage du Capiol en Perigord, Le Capiol, Cenac-et-Saint-Julien in the Dordogne French region. On the way I photographed the town entry sign which had the name in two languages, French and Occitan. Occitan dialects are a result of the Latin influence on the language of the southern Gauls, whereas French has stronger Frankish influences. Of the 14 million inhabitants of the Occitan region, it is estimated that 600,000 people are fluent, whilst 1,600,000 individuals are occasional speakers. Occitan is spoken primarily in rural areas of Southern France, Monaco, the Val d'Aran region in Spain, and the Occitan Valleys in Italy. We arrived at Cottage du Capiol en Perigord,Le Capiol, Cenac-et-Saint-Julien in the Dordogne French region around 2.30pm. We then left about fifteen minutes later to drive to a winery co-operative. We tasted wine at Vin de Domme. Reds were the specialty and the quality was as good as Australia. The winery employee was patient and helpful considering our poor French and his limited English. Back at Cenac-et-Saint-Julien in the Dordogne French region around 4.15pm to buy groceries for dinner. We ate pasta with wine in our accommodation for dinner.もっと詳しく

Flying to Doha Qatar Fri 6 Oct 2023
2023年10月6日, フランス ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Up at 6am and left the Best Western Park Hotel, 185 Avenue du Mont Blanc, Thoiry France at 7.20am to return the rental car. We had a problem free drive to the Hertz rental car area in the French part of Geneva Airport. As the rental desk was unattended we could only put the keys and papers in a slot. We then walked to the Swiss side of Geneva Airport crossing the border between France and Switzerland. We were only able to do this as we had airline tickets and boarding passes. On the Swiss side we joined long and slow queues for bag drop off, metal detection and passport processing. We were in our seats on the plane about 10 minutes before the scheduled takeoff at 9.50am. The flight took off after 10am and I took some photos from the window. Flight arrived in Doha Qatar around 4.45pm local time. We had 3 hours in the Hamad International Airport before our next flight (2 hours before boarding).もっと詳しく
