Time to hit the Mediterranean (Day 19)

Well the motorway from Millau hits the coast at Cap d Agde so that's where we landed on the med. Not quite Mediterranean weather yet but you can see the sea in the gap between the trees. We decided to go for a walk to see the place and headed around the headland towards the harbour.

The beaches near where we are parked are very pleasant and offer the experienced mountaineer a really good work out. Soon however the beaches and rocks give way to boats, boats and even more boats, but the sun did come out.

The place has a little bit of a "worn out" feel and suffers from that 1970s rapid expansion poor quality architecture and lack of structured planning feel - a bit like Bolton town centre. Having said that the shopkeepers were all working hard painting and stocking ready for the Easter weekend which will be the start of the season.
