Caught the 8.22 train from Barcelona for Perpignan where we were to collect our hire car and continue onto Bordeaux.

We got off the train at Cerbere to connect to a local train which would get us to Perpignan. When we checked the time board it seemed like the next train wasn't until 12.25 and we needed to arrive P...
