Fleas that tease in the high Pyrenees


That's the only line we can remember from school. Hi All. Yes we crossed from Spain into France through the Pyrenees  this afternoon. Very little has happened to keep you informed or entertained in these closing days of our trip.
Having left the site in sun this morning ,we arrived here at St. Marie de la Plage under a cloud. Muggy and mosquitoes is the best way to describe our environment, oh and a long walk to the sea. Tomorrow it's St. Pierre for us and a return to a special Aire.
Returning to the border crossing, where all the old customs buildings still remain, we were fascinated by the number of people and cars thronging the streets. The French had come for cheap Spanish clothes and the Spaniards had arrived for French wine even cheaper than that provided by Lidl.
 After Morocco, Sue has had so few photo opportunities, that she has now resorted to taking photographs of colourful insects, which are splattered on the windscreen and the rampant and very loud albino peacock ,who is "serenading" us this evening,.
A few final thoughts about the Spain that we have experienced. It's mostly litter free and clean. The roads are brilliant and many are toll free, which we hope will be the case when we come again. The campsites have been way better than our expectations and the beaches are long, not overly crowded and in our case, frequently naturist!!
