Moving on

Following last night's rain, we eventually managed to dig the tent out.....

Once freed, we set our sights on the (hopefully) drier land to the South East, namely Albi. (More of which tomorrow)

On the way, we stopped to marvel at/be tourists in the remarkable town of Cordes-sur-Ciel.

Now, I know what you're thinking:

'( yawn) not another medieval town', and, well, actually yes, you're right it is  another medieval town, but hear me out.....

For a start, this one is on top of a VERY steep hill . There is a land train for the overweight or ancient tourist and although, we probably fall into one or both categories,  we were too proud to use it.

Eventually, short of breath and possibly shorter in height, we reached the town square. 

'Top of the world, ma!'

It really was quite lovely, (Although  to be honest, some houses could have benefitted from a visit to B&Q....)

(Other DIY outlets are available....)

Highlight for me was the chocolate museum, although as there was an entrance fee, I'll leave you to guess whether I went in or not......

Here are some of the best bits:
