Last night we awoke at 2am to someone taking photos with a flash in our bedroom. About every three seconds the room lit up, bright and white.
It was an electrical storm in the distance. There was no sound initially, but as the storm grew closer, the thunder hit as well. I sat on the balcony for about an hour taking it all in. I have never seen a light show like it.
The next morning it was still drizzling and we slept in for the first time on the holiday. The plan was to head into Spain. Hopefully we would leave the precipitation behind. It wasn’t to be. It rained all the way across the border and into Spain.

We turned off the motorway at Fiqueres, the birth town of Salvador Dali and home to his Musee of Art. Making our way to the city centre, the streets were narrow and very busy.

It turned out that a large music festival was on in town and the queues into the Dali Musee were huge. We had a tasty leisurely lunch and in the meantime the line of people had almost doubled in size. Because of our allergies to queues we decided to leave this experience until our next visit and hit we the local shops instead. And they were actually quite good. 
A rain shower during our wanderings didn’t dampen our spirits. As 2pm approached however, most of the shops closed for a siesta. It was time to return to France.
We were back in Puimisson by 4pm and back on the deck with a new Rosé and nibbles. We went for an evening stroll and captured some of the many interesting doorways around the village.
Last day in this area tomorrow. The weather has come good again and we will spend much of the day at a local beach and then off to dinner at a local recommended winery.

Bad luck about the Dali Museum. The queues aren’t usually so bad there. At least you’ve had a wee taste of Spain. Can’t wait for your posts on the Riviera! xox
Loved the town, very different to France. Didn’t get to Barcelona…a trip too far!
Will find a camper store though, they seem to be in alot of centres. Donna xx
Is that new shoes I see on your feet Donna? Need some shopping details. Is Tom Tom your new best friend? We head down south through the Mc Kenzie country for a wee road trip next week. Just rest and relaxation.Look forward to your next installments from Avignon. Happy Fathers day for Sunday Tony. Croissants in bed no doubt!
Haha, no new shoes yet Deb!! But I will fix that soon. This is our last day in Puimisson so we will head to the beach and take in a village on our way. Off to a recommended restaurant in Magalas (a village about 5 minutes away) tonight. The weather in Christchurch looks good, so hopefully Spring is upon you. Enjoy your trip down South.more news to follow from Avignon. Love to all
Au Revoir
