Coffee anyone
Look what we found in a servo on an autoroute in France (just outside Aix)!!
You can get coffee almost anywhere here!!!!!
Carcassonne
We went to Carcassonne on the 29th - yesterday.. Guy drove the French Ford festiva on the wrong side of the rd- yup the right side of the road!! oooh... scary alright!!!
It was a wonderful place!!! We loved the city wall/ castle etc and took a few hundred photos!!
We enjoyed walking around in the evening and here are a few photos for you to see!!!

The holiday so far!
We had an OK flight - it was LONG though and we were glad to arrive in Nice.
Yesterday we woke up in Aix! ooh lala!! It is such a LOVELY place. I can understand why people rave about it and write books about it :)
We went for a walk into town and looked at the markets and had an espresso (well Guy had cappucino and Pamela had long black).
There are so many wonderful buildings and we are going back there to take a million or so photos - so stay tuned - We'll post them later..
Today we might go to see a Musee here in Montpellier and then Lunch and then back to Aix,
for now... Goodbye!!

We are in Montpellier
Hallo.
We are in Montpellier - very tired but enjoying the country so far... We had a very long flight but arrived here safely... :)
I (Sam) am currently posting this from an internet kiosk thing at the hotel Ibis where we are staying.. we slept here last night after the wedding.
The wedding was VERY long :) It was good to see lots of family though - so many Betbeders here :) WE are having a lunch today as well.. Guy and Pamela have leapt back into speaking French with considerable ease!! Yes - you might be wondering "does Guy ever speak French/ can he??" well the answer is! Of course and very well :)
As for me - when I concentrate hard I can understand but I can only respond with very simple one word answers at this point in time! (I can think of the answer in English and sometimes even Japanese -- but not French).
I am going to post this and sart a new post in case my prepaid card runs out!!
