Some bubble pron for whodat, I know he likes his bubbles. This is from the water from making bubble hash. If it don't kill em, it'll only make em stronger
Some pics from our holiday, I'll leave them up for a bit........some strange folk photoboming our pics, lol..
We saw some interesting graf work, some from the outskirts of Toulouse (more to come).
We stopped at this place we thought would be a Port. It was (you can see it in the background, lol) However it was actually a Motorway Service Station ffs. It rained that night, was not a lot to do, and BBC World News gets boring after a while, haha. Oh, and you were NOT allowed to have Pique Nique's, which still creases me up. Fukkin PICNIC you Fwoggies!
Some places actually had proper Port size ports...
Some times the path was good.....
Sometimes that path was bad......
there was always flowers......
and beautiful meandering scenery....
and the fields of wild Poppies.....
and the odd decent bed.....
This was a Hotel from the turn of the 1800's, the Terminus. They had restored all the original furniture, we felt a bit skank turning up hcovered in mud, "avec une chambre ma neeber? mange tout"
there was interesting guttering work...
there was Unesco fairylike Castles from back in the day, this had extra fortification added to it by the Romans to give you an idea of hold old the place is. It was restored in more modern times.
there was chocolate....
there was even thistles...
and old bridges.....
and funny canal boat names....
and even funnier and confusing street signs, so can I go up the street or not? lol.
grumpy old French tractor, haha.
Paul Riquet was the inventor of the Canal de Midi, he died before it was opened but I believe it only took 14 years to complete, and it joined the Med and the Atlantic saving enormous amounts of hassle with logistics in shipping. A legend really, the guy wasn't even an architect or engineer, he just had an idea.
400 year old aqueduct, they don't make things like they use to, lol (or so my Gran would have us believe).
Some cool graf work around, but this was really awesome I thought. Even the lamp is on extension that juts out on the building...genius.
fuk nows who that cardboard cutout is....
Also in Capestang....
Capestang was strange, it was dead, I told my wife I thought it was were the cast from Twilight live and they only come out at night
![Shocked :shock: :shock:](/styles/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
fukkin French Vampire, they actually like Garlic I heard as well.
not sure whats going on in this one
most of the places we stayed in were great, the gaff in Capestang was turd though, hairs of unknown bodies on the blankets on the bed, and the towels didn't even fit round your body,
![Shocked :shock: :shock:](/styles/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
It had the cheek of calling itself a Hotel.....yeh ok.
and when we got to the beach, it was lovely until we got to our hotel and it clouded over and rained, lol....at least we didn't need beach towels, ffs! 9km of beach, makes me sick....
we did like the mosaic bike though....
and even though it wasn't our bed, it wasn't bad.
were we had our breakfast. Our room was in this atrium bit, was real nice, like an apartment almost.
and the end of the Canal de Midi
Peace out, DST
