Today we woke up and said goodbye to Nice. Ollie and I went to pick up the rental car and then back to the apartment to pick up the girls. That is a lot harder than one would think, so many one way roads and narrow streets that it was rather difficult, but alas we made it and were on our way to the Medieval town of Carcassonne.
After a 5 hour drive we arrived (nice that the highways are 130km/h) at our hotel that was situated just outside the old medieval city walls. The hotel had an amazing view of the walls, as well as a great patio to just have a drink on…and as a bonus they didn`t really know how to pour wine at the hotel and poured double sized drinks!
That night we found a spot for dinner, but in hindsight probably wasn´t the best as the food was very average. After dinner we went for some drinks at a spot inside the walls that ended up getting really busy.

Went in to the `new town` which was still really old and grabbed some breakkie and walked around a bit. In the afternoon we just took it easy and relaxed by our pool until we went for dinner. That night we had a much better meal and discovered the set menu is really the best deal when going out for dinner.

Woke up to the news that Jacko had died, which was plastered everywhere all day long. We started driving to Saint Emillion today and part way there almost had the top of the car ripped off by a truck going through a small town, probably had about 6 inches to spare though, if that.
