Up at 7 am again and we drove up through Tarn and Garonne. The weather was different today - wet and windy and then sunny with rainbows. But we arrived in Montresor in sunshine. Parked up at the aire and went for a walk around the little town which was really pretty. It had a big castle in the centre and we walked down to the river which was quite flooded.

We got up at 7.00 am and got on our way. It was still windy but lovely bright and sunny and dry. We drove towards Figueres and then headed for Perpignan. There was no snow on the mountain tops - unlike a couple of days before. We drove through the Herault region and eventually arrived at Gaillac - and it rained all evening and all night but the aire we stopped at was fine.

Our last day here today and the weather has been gorgeous - 21 degrees! But it has been windy! We walked to the beach nearest to our campsite and then all along the front as far as we could go. Sat in the sunshine (and wind!) and had our lunch and then walked back. We're starting to pack up now as we're starting to head home tomorrow.

Had quite a relaxing day today. Had a late breakfast and then spent time planning exactly which route we would take home. Then went for a bike ride - headed to a beach again - to Gola this time. It was lovely - no-one around.

Lovely sunshine again today! We cycled into Torrella and had a good walk around - it's a lovely little town! I bought some wool and some bits of fabric and Fraser bought a walking book for the Costa Brava in English. We cycled to the beach then. Unfortunately, on the way, I had another puncture!!! So, Fraser had to fix that, then we carried on to the beach and sat in warm sunshine and had lunch.

We drove to Figueres today - it's about 45 minutes from here and a really good journey. It was a lovely dry and sunny day, and not cold, so we parked up and walked through a park and found the Dali Museum. We spent a couple of hours in there - so much to see! There was also an extra exhibition of his jewellery - everything was amazing! Then we went and had a very nice lunch!

We decided to go walking today - we woke up to sunshine! We headed up behind the town and did a bit of the GR92 and ended up at a little cove called Cala Ferriol. It was lovely and quiet and peaceful and Fraser decided to go skinny-dipping!!! He took all his clothes off and went into the water but decided it was a bit too cold. Just as he got out and got dressed, another couple turned up, then some more people - and then even more people!!! We sat and had lunch then headed back up again and back to the campsite - feeling tired!
