13th May 2009 - Beautiful French gorge

Lucky (13th) for us we just didn’t take to Bolquerex, our first choice for this night stop. It left us feeling a little uneasy so we moved on (one of the great benefits of using Aires with no booking) to Thues Entre Vall our second choice and were very glad that we did.

Set in a beautiful gorge in the Pyrenees , the cascading white water soothed us into a very comfortable night stay – extremely privileged to stay for the princely sum of 2 euro! Should have been 4 euro but the entrance barrier went up with the first coin inserted - so who were we to argue?

Only real problem was that our water pump kept ticking away on its own for no apparent reason. A quick check of the plumbing revealed water running down the back of the shower from below the tap housing - another leak and probably more bloody old frost damage by the look of it!!
