Living it up in Collioure

Narbonne to Collioure by train
Hotel Frigate

This is an extraordinary town! I wouldn’t want to come within a mile of here in the summer because even now it is just crawling with tourists, but for good reason. Mom you would love it and want to stay for months! It is far more Catalan than French here and we are getting very close to the border.

Right now I sitting in front of a little beach tightly packed in-between two fortified stone outcroppings. Today’s forecast was for rain and cloud but if I stay here any longer I will need sunscreen. Of course it doesn’t hurt the situation that we are staying in a grand hotel with a balcony overlooking the square. This is not the norm for us, Last night’s “treat” made me probably the only woman at the hotel not collecting a fee. That being said there were no bed bugs and the sewer gas smell wasn’t too bad if we kept the sink full of water and the bathroom door closed. Even frugal Gord is loving our luxurious room here.
