This is our last evening in Carcassonne, so why not finish it with a spectacular view and a cassoulet

Tomorrow back to home and work. A lovely break in the searing heat.

Is a Kiss Me Quick Hat and a stick of rock

As Mrs Fogg waits eagerly to do her second sit on train ride around the city (well a tractor pulling carriages of just us 2). We sat waiting for the city train to see the sites we had just walked round. According to Mrs Fogg, you just have to do a train!

We first came here in 2014 when the Folks had rented a house (24 Rue De La Gaffe)

It is a small place and once you’ve walked it three times you’ve seen it all, but it has a certain charm.

Very clean and tidy with plenty of nice little eateries, well worth a visit

I love lightning, the power, the spectacle and the majesty and I am loving the storm here because of the light show and the fact it is breaking the heat. I had to opportunity to catch a strike on slo-mo

But just before this we found a lovely little restaurant with duck legs in fig sauce, oh and would you like fries with that madam (that would be all the fries in the restaurant of course).

A leisurely up and hunt for breakfast followed by a ride on the little train to learn all the history of the Citadel (I was in my element!).

Down then for another womble round the city which is really empty even for a Sunday. We got chatting to a Kiwi who learnt wood turning and setup a shop here, he was saying that due to weather takings are down by at least 30%

Had to stop for a little light 12ish pizza snack before climbing back up the steep slope to the Citadel. Photo opportunity time once more in case you forgot what we look like

Mrs Fogg decided to run up the last 100yds and then decided to do her instagram pose impression (you know the one, you see women stopping adjusting hair and make up, pouting saying look at me on my travels, to all of my 3 followers who really could care less, because they accidentally clicked like on a picture).

Or is she just looking at more history crap! Or maybe it’s just wind.

She has also managed to keep her uber white trainers spanking white so far despite the hikes and having a bottle of beer thrown over them

This is a fantastic location for a restaurant and one we have been to many times. What a wonderful evening, 3 hours of food, drink and laughter with a beautiful woman.

We would have shown the dessert but Mrs Fogg ate it too fast, oh but the second dessert is awesome

After a long walk in the heat (just over 1 mile), you need to flex your mussels and have the world’s smallest glass of fizz.

So are we walking back or catching the lazy train.

A womble in the searing heat looking for a wall. But some really nice and funky views

Mrs Fogg wants a womble down into the city, but in a cool and breezy 25 degrees, so we gotta get up at silly o’clock, but then let’s not forget the 2 cups of tea needed before we can leave.

And here we are on cup of tea number 3 and the worlds largest pain au chocolat, almost ready to set off at 9am! So why did I have to get up at 7am.

And last night while she slept I was out taking pictures and playing with the fridge ice maker.
