07/08/03 — Bayonne to Carcassonne
I went to Bayonne after Bilbao. My guidebook said the Fête de Bayonne started the first Wednesday of August. Excellent, I thought, that's tomorrow. But this year, they decided to make it the week before because the first Wednesday was so late...
The centre of Basque country, I expected it to be more quaint, but since the festival had just finished, it was grotty and tired. The museum of the basque culture was interesting.
Then I went to Carcassonne again, a place I went with David last time. I loved it last time and wanted to buy some things in little shops we'd seen last time. Most were still there, but the shop where he bought me the gorgeous silk scarf was gone.
