The Pyrenees

It is the day of the rugby world cup semi final as we cross the border into the Pyrenees region. We head to a place called Bagneres-de-Bigorre, which we figure looks a sizeable enough town to have a decent place to watch the match. It’s certainly good to get back into a mountainous area with great views



There is a bar showing the match, but the town doesn’t really have a great ‘feel’. We head to the campsite where it turns out they have a tv room; now its surprising the situations you find yourself in sometimes, but Andrew and I were both getting over colds and didn’t feel great so decided to stay at the campsite to watch the rugby. This meant it was just the two of us with our bottles of beer, crisps and nuts trying to emulate a crowded, buzzing pub. Andrew, to be fair, gets just as excited on his own as in company (when watching sport) so there was still the jumping up, shouting, anxious pacing and (pretend) elbowing to the bar. Bless…


Luz-St-Sauveur

Heading further into the region, we have a lovely drive through the mountains to Luz-St-Sauveur, where we camp for the night and have the most fantastic views. The weather too is still great with beautiful blue skies and warm days; gets pretty cold once the sun goes down though!
