carcassonne

so we left off, we were in Carcassonne about to meet up with jenny and angel. because of a stupid train strike they arrived a day later than expected but it was still such a fantastic time!!! we rented a tent cabin sort of thing at the campground which had its own kitchen, bathroom, and 2 bedrooms and a very welcome pool. carcassone is a great town with the grid like new town - 12th century, yes very new.. and the old town dating back to roman times set at the top of a hill fully walled with towers, a castle and very quaint streets with shops and restaurants. we dined on regional dish cassoulette, watched the world cup match chile vers spain go spain!!! swum and picniked at a lake, rode up the canal. was a very nice break from the cycling, were there 4 days.
