Decided to stay an extra night and spend the day cycling along the “Canal De Robine” which was only a couple of minutes away. Had a great day cycled over 20k from Narbonne out to the large bay on the coast. Lovely views and very quiet, only saw a few other cyclists and four or five boats on the canal. Stopped by a lock on the way out to watch boats going through and spotted a bar/restaurant on the other side. Stopped off there on the way back for wine and a chocolate desert with ice cream and raspberry coulis, it was delicious! Great spot by the lock, slightly bohemian crowd wearing very brightly coloured trousers! Lynn has started to use her gears and is now turning into a speed freak! Went to a Decathlon store on our return to the van (walking distance) and bought cycling helmets and a saddle cushion for Sarah, if it works Lynn wants one!
Whilst typing this a guy from another van has come out and started walking around having a nose and leg stretch. Nick he is the spitting image of your dad, even the way he walks and stands! We’ve nicknamed him “Nicks dad” and as Sarah and Lynn have the best view out the window (go figure!) they’re giving me updates on what his up to. Moving on to Narbonne-plage tomorrow to see what the coast is like.
