Woke up to pouring rain which cleared as we came down from the mountains.













Pyrenees to the East. Some snow covered but sun warm and turned into a nice day although very windy. Seeing loads of "camping cars" travelling on the road now but still no British.

Sought out a supermarket early on as they often have very nice loos, and we needed to do a shop. Jc and I find ourselves wandering around the aisles of the largest Carrefour I have ever been into in the town of Argeles sur mer, a good place to visit in the summer me thinks, but quiet in the winter. I suddenly have an urge for a full english breakfast. The beauty of this vanning lark is that you have everything with you, and I had all the ingredients in the Wishstream. So Jc stayed in the long check out queue and by the time he got back to the van, there was a full english on the table (perhaps we are philistines?).

Motored through Perpignan and the very pretty town of Coillure which we would have stayed in had there been an Aire close to the town. But the one in our book was a park and ride away from the centre which we didn't want so we aimed for the Aire in Port Vendres. A nightmare to find and Jane had us doing u turns and s bends and all. Whilst it is near to the port , this is surprisingly commercial so not a particularly great location but Aires are FREE and it was nice to see our first GB plated camping cars moored up there.










A 15 minute walk though into the nice restauranty bit of the quay, but most of them are closed. Big sat dome failed to find the BBC tonight though and I am now way behind on Eastenders.
