On May 24 Nick arrived at the AthoTurnbull French estate, La Cachette, in St Antonin N.V. He had been hanging with fellow pilgrims in Madrid for a bit. After busing from Madrid to Toulouse and training to Montauban he hired a car. This car meant he could visit local attractions like Penne, Bruniquel and Najac. On the 29th he headed to Provence for a trip and crashed (in the car) in Montpellier. He visited lovely Carcassone on the drive back to St Antonin N.V. Nick enjoyed La Cachette & on June 1 he said that there was an "awesome market on today, the normal Sunday one plus an artisan fair". He returned the car to Montauban on the 2nd and jumped on a sleeper train to Holland to meet Camino pilgrim pals. Next? On the 11th June he flies Amsterdam-Venice and hangs there. On June 21st leaves Trieste for London and stays at his Bro's. The catch is said Bro James & partner Anthony will be meeting travel weary Stephen in Heathrow terminal 5 that day to head to Toulouse and St Antonin N.V. Paulie had been since June 4th. Next time we see Nick, the whole clan (James, Paulie, Stephen, Nick, Olivia & Lochie) jump in a van in Oxford and head to Scotland. Roadtrip! - Return to homepage - |
