11 June 2009 - Gruissan

The last couple of days were spent pottering about, reading and getting sunburnt! We both put sun cream on but were unaware how hot it was as there was a breeze coming off the Med.

Today, we went for a walk around the village and were pleasantly surprised. All around the edge of the chateau they had a designated foot/cycle path so we meandered along that then stopped for a coffee in a lovely little side street. You had to breathe in when any cars came through but it had a really relaxed feel to the place, and the shop opposite was owned by an ex-pat who warned us to get the factor 50 out as a heat wave was on its way – too late!
