13th October 2013 Mt. Biking: Caux et Sauzens to Carcassonne Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny and warm Max Speed: Distance Covered: Saturday 12th October – Travelling then a little walk. Cloudy then sunny. Bit of a pain of a day:( It was raining when we woke up. Packed up and left our spot by the river then drove to Castelsarrasin and visited Lidl. Then a nightmare visit to McDonalds. The computer was doing really well, even going fast! Then it seized up completely and we couldn’t get it to get through the start menu at all unless you went into safe mode. Basically that is all we can do. We can use it, even get internet but it wont run any scans and is not working properly at all. Had our lunch where we had it yesterday on the bikes then drove towards Toulouse, joined the motorway and drove to a little place on the Canal du Midi called Caux et Sauzens and we are hoping to cycle into Carcassonne again tomorrow. We did it a few years ago from the opposite direction. We had a cuppa and I dozed off while reading (exhausted from all the hassle and travelling!). Then we did our exercises because couldn’t do them this morning in the rain and the weather is better here, even saw the sun in the early evening. Went for a walk along the canal to the next lock and beyond. Sunday 13 October 2013 – Bike *****Caux et Sauzens to Carcassonne – Sunny and warm Its still chilly but nice sunny morning. We had breakfast and then set off to cycle along the Canal du Midi tow path to Carcassonne Cite, about 8 miles away. It is a beautiful stretch of the canal, quite bendy in places which is unusual and with some lovely locks and bridges along the way:) We saw about 5 boats in the locks. When we got to Carcassonne we followed the signs to the Cite – I nearly killed myself bumping into the curb while looking at a French car boot sale!!!! We entered across the ancient bridge over the river Aude. It is as beautiful as we remembered and this time we paid to go around the chateau and the ramparts. Last time we came we were too late in the day to enter. It was beautiful and really well restored. We really enjoyed the visit and had our lunch in the vegetable garden :) After lunch we walked round the other side of the Cite where you can’t get to the ramparts and have to walk round the outer walls instead. Made our way back to the bikes and back through the newer town to the Canal basin and back along the path which on the return journey felt a lot longer and bumpier! Had a cuppa and a rest then had another go at solving the many problems with this lap top!!! Photo Gallery here |
