Day 4: Moving on

Margot says:

Our aim today was to be up bright and early, breakfasted and ready to go by 8am.  The best laid plans of mice and men...

At 8am when we went to retrieve the car from the long term car park we discovered it doesn't open on a Sunday until 10am.  So we had two hours to kill.  Hence the number of blog posts this morning.

It's a brilliantly sunny morning -  unlike yesterday which was overcast and occasionally wet.  We walked the short distance to the Amiens Cathedral over cobbled roads and paths and lit a candle for my late friend Bev.

Mass was about to start and I took a short video of the altar with the choir singing in the background.  This will be a real reminder of Bev.

Once more, we have returned to our room and it is still only 9.40am.  Not enough time to do anything much, except check emails and write blog posts.

Once we extract the car from the car park (!) and load it up with our two tonne of luggage (what were we thinking?  Initially we had plans to only travel with carry on luggage!) we will head south west towards Rouen and then on to Limoges where we hope to stay the night.  On Monday we will drive the final leg to Puisserguier for a two week stay at Chez Noeleen. 

Puisserguier is a very small town (population less than 3,000) in the Languedoc-Rousillon region (Hérault Department).  The nearest large city is Montpellier, 90kms away.

We are looking forward to mixing with the locals and absorbing their culture.  We now find that Noeleen of Chez Noeleen is Irish!  Noeleen Murphy to be exact!
