A visit to the South of France

I have spent the past week in the South of France. It was absolutely gorgeous and despite being away from Matt on Valentines day (again), I thoroughly enjoyed every day. I travelled with my friend Emily. She is going back to India for a month and as she lives in the USA it made sense to pop by Europe for 10 days. 5 with us in London and 5 on the continent. We stayed with her family friends in the beautiful little town of Collioure, just east of Perpignan.


We were trying to travel as cheaply as we could, this meant:
Underground from home to Victoria
Gatwick express to Gatwick
Plane from Gatwick to Barcelona
Metro/RENFE train from airport to Barcelona Sants
Barcelona Sants to Perpignan by train 




 The home of the Macaroon and some local cheese




The Mediterranean Sea was under a minutes walk from our apartment, so so clear. 




....and then all the trains plus 3 shuttle buses back to London. 



We are all now headed to Portsmouth for my mums birthday :)

Happy Tuesday everyone!

  1. I was wondering what you were up to! Seems like a lovely visit- I've seen the Med from the shores of Israel and would love to go back. Breathtaking!
