Narbonne Plage - 10 September 2008




We had a Wednesday outing to Narbonne. Narbonne beach is along the Mediterranean. The beach was virtually desserted. The water’s absolutely freezing (so I’m told). No wonder there’s hardly anyone swimming.

The kids can spend hours at the beach playing and digging in the sand and splashing in the water. Andrew helps the kids build fancy sand castles. He gets very technical with his sand castles. I haven’t noticed other kids building in the sand at any of the beaches we have been to.

There was a lot of very pale flesh at this beach so I’m guessing it was mainly tourists and there was several old men with gi-normous bellies. Not many sensible one piece bathing costumes here. It seems that everyone just about under the age of 60 wears bikinis – not always a pretty sight.

We packed a picnic lunch. We pack the Getbags with the frozen ice bricks and it keeps things cool for long enough till we’re ready to eat.
