Auntie Irene for Christmas...22 December 2008

Today we drove to Perpignan to pick up Auntie Irene on her return from her 2 week trip to Morocco. The trip went smoothly apart from us waiting ¾ of an hour at the wrong bus station but we managed to find the right bus station in time.

Then we drove to Collioure which is this gorgeous little coastal resort which apparently is a boom town in summer. Today everything was closed except for a few cafes and the town was virtually desserted but we spent a most enjoyable afternoon playing on the rocky beach and climbing up to the viewing platform and to the end of the harbour and old lighthouse.

To my amazement some people felt it was warm enough for swimming. Even though the sun was shining it was still quite cold.
