We are Charlie and Carol aka CNC. We both have a travel and adventure bug. Since Retiring in 2012, we have visited Europe for 90 days and hiked 1000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. We are always looking to explore and discover new places. Our next big adventure is another 90 days in Europe.
Walking Toulouse
Sunday May 19, 2019 This morning we start our day with a walk towards the church of St Albin where I read that they have a Sunday Market. It is not raining but there is rain in the forecast so we wear our rain jackets. When we get there, it is March larger than we […]
What Have We Got Toulouse
Saturday May 18, 2019 Today, we board a train from Albi to Toulouse. It is a little less than an hour ride and we are in Toulouse and at the Hotel by 1100. The hotel is near the train station which will make for an easy departure in two days. Our room is not ready […]
Who Wants Toulouse
Friday May 17, 2019 Today’s main event is a visit to the Toulouse Lautrec Museum. He is another artist that we have heard of but do not know a lot about. Before we can go, I have to attend to the very important task of making sure my wife has a morning pastry and coffee. […]
What’s it All About Albi?
Thursday May 16, 2019 This morning we leave Narbonne and head to Albi. It is a three hour and forty minute ride due to a hour and twenty minute layover in Toulouse. I noticed on line that our train arrives Toulouse at 1112 and there is a train to Albi that leaves at 1116. This […]
Isn’t it Grand
Wednesday May 15, 2019 Total relaxation day with not a whole lot to do. We sleep in and then go for a stroll along the Robine Canal. There are boats docked alongside. Many people sail boats along the canals of France. They have to go through a series of locks and then visit small towns […]
Bienvenue a France
Tuesday May 14, 2019 Ooh la la, we are going to France today. Spain has been nice but we are ready for the change. As I said, one reason is that the Spanish food was pretty similar everywhere. Lots of fried and paella with a few twists here and there. We will see what France […]
Last Day in Spain
Monday May 13, 2019 Carol makes us a nice homemade breakfast. Eggs, potatoes with onions, and toast makes for a fine meal. I had to make sure that Carol remembered how to cook after being spoiled for the last 5 weeks. After breakfast, we […]
My Girona
Sunday May 12, 2019 We have a leisurely breakfast and morning before we walk to the bus station for our 1030 bus. We are hoping the advertised hour trip lets us catch the 1143 train from Figueres to Girona. The same hour trip here was an hour and fifteen so we do not hold up […]
Dali and Gala’s House
Saturday May 11, 2019 The weather has changed and we wake up to mostly cloudy skies. We have a little over a mile walk to the Casa de Dali. Tickets were bought months ahead as they only let about thirty people in a half hour. Our entry time is 1030 but our on line ticket […]
