We were upgraded to a suite, private terrace, in Hotel de la Cite. with Covid did not expect a buffet breakfast, though 'twas good! Michelin starred lunch even better |

 |
 |
| Need these meals to get our full quota of photos taken! But we were subjected to a long traipse down to the Canal du Midi before it |

Hotel can be seen lower right. Also had to do some rope climbing during the long trek: we were remarkably good at it! Sitting on walls also one of our fortes! |

Then on to the hotel of our dreams: Castigno, so aesthetically pleasing. We arrived in time for a Michelin starred lunch & the maitre d' treated us as honoured guests |

We had the same room as in 2019 , enjoyed the pools' area , even had a couple of walks, posed on their vespas, and had a late evening picnic supper |

Then a 5 hour drive to Vic & Gaynor's. Kept us waiting a while at the front door!, But Vic's cooking soon made up for that!! & even Toby & Fina did not |

disturb us this year. As usual the mater enjoyed her swims with Gaynor down at the lake & we reclaimed our tractor! |

Enjoyed a day out at the nearby Lascaux caves, they'd had good artists there & the pancake chef was good too! |

 |
| Stayed again in Brinas on the way home. Good view, good dinner & a sumptious breakfast- safely served at table | ||
Then back in Moraira to hole up for the rest of August- the mater decrees it is too hot to venture forth in August! . .
