13th august to 20th August
Ok so much to say and so little time. Has to be summed up briefly really as Montpellier gorgeous city on 13th. 14th realisation lost passport for Natalie which after chat with British consulate looked ok for return on the 20th without it so continued to near grand motte for two nights wild camping.1st one ok and fun second one woken by men clearing beach following lots of walking around trying to find appropriate place to sleep and fireworks set off near tent.
off to saint maries de la mer where i lost the will to wild camp again so headed to campsite 9km away which ended up as mosquito hell!!!!
next day birthday breakfast enjoyed though bitten to death, and headed to the sanest night in lovely hotels with day at pool then birthday meal in the very picturesque hispanic capital of the Camargue, saint maries. Dave managed two paintings in time there and then we headed to Arles on continuation of Van Goghs footsteps.
Arles a lovely place, lovely colliseum and fab buildings, ok campsite. Dave painted in the morning with two sales of the Saint maries paintings.
Off to Nimes to lovely Youth hostel to camp at, very relaxing prior to Natalie and Harry's journey back. relaxed evening then up early for bus to train, missed bus but next bus got there, a bit tense but then both safely on train to Lille. Phone call from Lille though at 12.00 looking bad for natalie to return without form for travel, tense wait for all concerned, though harry sensibly got on allocated train on order to meet his leeds festival commitments. A relieved natalie then contacted is to say that British passport control guy came good and on way 2.30hrs late from lille, to London. Holiday to remember and be laughed about in the future!!!!!!!!! will follow with pictures soon. Having can of beer now xxxxxxx
