"Resting"

Well, I've covered about 1,000 miles in the last few days so technically it probably doesn't count as resting although it is still a holiday.

I now have received all the contact details for the remainder of the trip - what a pile of paper that is! I wasn't worried, just a little nervous that my communications were being lost. Turns out all is well, and I have a pile of reading to do in addition to everything else. All good.

Spent the weekend with old friends and all was good. Wine is cheap and tasty and food is widely available, as long as it isn't Sunday or Monday... It is a fine, fine place. We went to the claustrophobic Perpignon (not great), Carcassonne with its wonderful castle (very fine) and best of all the peculiarity that is Minerve. I'd describe it, but you are better off seeing pictures. When I can etc...

So I have 1 week before I'm back to Barcelona. This slow, restful period suddenly looks a lot shorter than I had expected. At least there is much less chance of getting bored now.
