After a great night’s sleep we awoke feeling ready for the day. The weather is warmer here , and we are loving it. 20 to 31 is the prediction for the day.
Plan A was to go for a ride, but with a combination of cloudy drab weather in the morning, and Narelle still recovering, we decided to have a relaxed brekky, do some washing and then move on.
So we explored the local beaches next to the Meditteranean.
Nice in their own right, but second class to where we live. The surf is redcliffe-esque, and the sand is more like dirt. But everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The place leaves me with an impression of what the Gold Coast would have been like if all building had stopped in the 70s.
the surf was up that day..

A real highlight was a visit to a local gardener. They sold local produce, and wine. You could even bring your own bottle and get it filled for 2Euro a bottle. We were disappointed that we had just thrown out our empty 1.5l water bottles. But we bought some olives that are simply sensational.
After having a very nice lunch by the beach we moved on. Once we hit Narbone, John started to feel sleepy at the wheel. Time for a trip to Maccas for a coffee and some wifi.
Found out what was happening in the stage to Foix. They had about 20km to go at that stage. Nothing too exciting from our perspective, so we left it at that.
We then moved to Cape D’Agde in the hope of finding a spot to stay. It looked a nice place, but it was particularly anti-camping car, so we eventually moved on.
A few kms up the road we found we could pull over beside the beach. Narelle had said she always wanted to spend a night by the Mediterranean. So this was awesome. There are a lot of camper cars that have done the same, so we hope we are OK here.

Narelle was looking up items of interest for the area. She has just told me that Agde has a beach resort that is famed for supporting nudist colonies of up to 20,000 people. Not really sure I need to see that much flabby and wrinkly skin though. I was happy to move on with the shirt still on my back.
Our location or the evening can be a little noisy as we are next to the road. But the sound of the sea (surf is not an appropriate word to use for here) makes up for it. A nice little treat was seeing the sunset out one side of the car, and seeing the full moon light up the sea out the other.
Tonight’s edition was brought to us by the leftover bottle from last night.
