Wednesday 19th August 2009 – Home
I slept in for a while this morning to kill some time before I had to be on the ferry. I didn’t take much care in packing all my things into the back of the car, seeing as this would be the last time I would have to do it. Today I was going home.

Tuesday 18th August 2009 – France
I had a plan to do about 6-7 hours driving today to get me closer to St Malo, where I presumed I would be getting a ferry from to get me back home. Nothing was booked yet as it was a sudden decision to cut the trip short, but it was more than likely that this would be the travel point.

The campsite reception opened very early this morning so I was able to check out and be on my way first thing. This was good as I was intending to re-visit the bank from yesterdays nightmare, and plead with them – in the best French I could muster – to let me have my bank card back. What could go wrong??

I used the 5 star facilities today, and I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised that there was fruit splashed against all the walls and all over the floor. Some kids had been messing around here last night, and the smell was pretty bad, not to mention the wasps that frequented the shower blocks as I tried to shower. It was not the best morning I have ever had, and it wasn’t about to get any better…

My journey now was going to take me to the French Riviera. I wanted to head for Marseille, but my first stop was Montpellier. I packed my things and said goodbye to the campsite, but first I needed to stop at the supermarket, so I headed into Carcassonne, and what a nightmare this turned out to be.

Friday 14th August 2009 – France
My short stay in Andorra had come to an end and I was leaving today, bound for France. The road took me eastwards towards Soldeu, and I decided I would take the scenic route to France, rather than the 6 Euro tunnel that takes you straight there. It would always be the scenic route for me.
