Geoff, I am trying to work out a way to stow away the Mary Rose in my carry-on luggage. Do you think it is possible?
Liz, thanks for the pics. Carcassonne has been described as the best preserved fortified medieval town in the world. I can't wait to see it in person. I hear that it looks particularly fantastic in the late afternoon as the setting sun casts shadows across the battlements. It looks like the weather was not fully co-operating when you visited? Still, and amazing sight!!
Mick - thanks mate, that link looks fantastic, it has in fact thrown my accommodation plans into disarray, because it looks so good - I might have to change some plans so I can stay there at least a couple of nights. I will let you know if I end up staying there!
We had planned to get across to the Carcassonne area ourselves but..... anyway if we had we would have stayed here,
Thanks for this link, looks great, I will only be in the Carcassonne area for one day, not sure I can fit this place in.....maybe on my next trip to France!!!
Nev, my wife is enough reason for me to come home. 3.5 weeks away from her (and the kids) will be long enough! HOWEVER, if my wife and kids come with me next time, then maybe we will never come back!
