Summer plans

[wiseheart]

Okay, friends, there's the deal: Mum and I have decided to be very, very brave and take part on an 11-day bus trip to Middle- and Southern France, from 24.07 to 03.08.

The route

Day 01 - Kufstein (Austria - a significant place for Hungarians, as many of our people ended in the dungeons there after the lost freedom fight in the 19th century) - Passau - Straubing

Day 02 - St. Gallen, Fribourg, Lake Geneva

Day 03 - Massif Central; Lyon, Thiers, Ussel, Périgueux

Day 04 - Dordogne: Beynac Castle, La Roque Gageac, Monfort Castle, Sarlat

Day 05 - Souillac, Rocamadour, Cahors, Moisac

Day 06 - Toulouse, Albi

Day 07 - CARCASSONNE!!!, Narbonne, Montpellier

Day 08 - the maritime world of Camargue, Arles, St. Maries de la Mer, Aigues-Mortes

Day 09 - Avignon, Tarascon, Nimes, Pont du Gard

Day 10 - Aix-en-Provance, Marseille

Day 11 - the closing horror: a whole day in the bus, trying to get home. *g*

I've discovered this tour by walking into a travel agency office almost randomly, and I still can't believe that I'm actually goin to see Carcassonne, among a lot of other wonderful places. Granted, it will only be a glimpse, and we'll be probably both dead upon returning home, but at least we're going there!

*jumps up and down like a bloody moron*

Should I survive despite all expectations, I promise you ungodly amounts of picspam - if my camera and Hermes, the god of travellers and thieves cooperate.

It sounds fabulous, I'm so glad you're doing it. My mother went to Rocamadour one holiday, on her way back from Lourdes - is there a shrine at Rocamadour? I also think there may be monkeys there, but she went when I was a very little girl, and I don't quite remember!

It will be worth all the travelling, good on you!

I don't know whether there's a shrine - but even if there is, I don't think that would be part of the programme. Which is all right with me, I'm not the pilgrim sort of traveller.
