PHILLIPS UPDATE – Carcassonne

6 June 2012

Enjoyed dinner at the Adelaide restaurant, located within the walls of the old medieval city, a three course set menu meal for only 14.50 Euro

7 June 2012

Overcast morning, spent at the house catching up on washing, chatting, planning for trip etc….

The weather did fine up later so we headed out for further exploration of the medieval city, walking around the outer wall and entering through the gate near the cathedral.  We were treated to a choral rendition by the Chouer de Moscou on entering the cathedral. The cathedral has beautiful stained glass windows.

After a snack of delicious crepes at one of the numerous cafes within the city and wandering the streets looking at some of the shops, we headed out to the Bastide St Louis to see some of the historic buildings that still remain in the town. We ended our walk at the Port du canal Du Midi where we watched some boats coming in and out of the lock there and learnt what not to do when it is our turn!!!

Decided to stay in for the evening and have snacks for dinner as we have to get up early in the morning to catch the train to Beziers. Just as well we did as it rained again.

We did manage to get a photo of all of us for Rose before the rain set in though. Thought it appropriate that we took the group photo of us at the Rosemary bush at the front of the house.
