"Long Weekend"--- Going to St.Guilhem le Desert



14/March/  2015

Yey! I was waiting to go back to St. Guilhem le desert since last time. It was such a lovely village with fantastic walks, I couldn't wait to get there!

Only one thing in my head was the Orange Footpath, I wanted to see where it lead to. Where did we miss the turn? How long did it take? All those questions needed to be answered (in my head...).

Going to airport is always fun. We flew from Stansted airport (which has lot of low rating reviews on various sites) by Rynair. When we got to the airport, it was in the middle of doing it up, and messy! They changed round how shops were and now passengers have to go through duty free shops to get to gates. I wish airports had a health food shop, even Holland & Barret.... Those shops and cafes aren't very well catered for people who have special diets ie; gluten free, sugar free, vegetarians and vegans. Never mind, it will happen one day. 

We parked our car at the middle stay ( I think), Look this prat did (excuse my language!). We pay lot for this car park (unless with cheap deals on line), I wonder how much this prat paid for this space?


Naughty Parking!
Anyway, I couldn't hide my excitement getting on the airport bus to the airport... my heart was pumping, how many times experience getting to the airport, still, it's always fun.

This is me, putting some foreign money in to the box. The story goes: I bought a pair of shorts off eBay (which I'm wearing in this photo), and found some Tanzanian notes inside a pocket. I was wondering how much would be and googled it, and it was worth about £5. None of my local banks dealt with this currency, that was why I decided to take it to the airport for recycling.



Very Rare Tanzanian Money (to me)!


I love flying into France. It only takes just under 2 hours (more like 1.5 hour) to into Perpignan. We weren't really sure how cool/warm this part of France would be, although we checked with weather forecast, never really can't tell, till you get there. So, I wrapped myself up with my new outdoor tops and gilet, layered really well. I thought my layering system was great! and it was.

When we get to the other end, Perpignan, we were thrilled. Blue sky! It was just beautiful thing to see the blue sky, felt like we hadn't seen it for looong time, and it was.


Fantastic sky! No cloud.

Our hire car was Fiat 500 again. We had this car before somewhere....I'm sure it was last year when we went.... St Guilhem le Desert again, we flew into Carcassonne. We love this little car. Marcus tells me this little car has more leg space (on the front) than his Audi. That doesn't make sense, surely, large cars have more space... but reality is not.


Cute Fiat with Cheeky face!


Look at the number plate, how cute is that? "DAISY" 
Can you see?

Now, we were heading to ... beautiful St. Guilhem le Desert!
