There are a few things to note about August it seems, the French and Spanish go on their holidays and many of the shops, restaurants and cafes are closed. It was also Gay Pride season we discovered in Barcelona and although not a major problem to us we felt a bit out numbered at times, also having one's breakfast while the pretty boys skipped about in their little white singlets and pink shorts was a bit off-putting at that time of the morning.
Far more importantly it also transpired that the sunflowers and lavender fields were at their peak in July this year but we did at least see some fine examples of each. When we reached Lyon it was absolutely throwing it down with rain but this was to be a one off and for the remaining 10 days it would be dry, virtually cloudless and with temperatures ranging between 25 and 32 degrees.
It was also to become the first test for Viking Another false alarm when we rushed back n forth to the wrong coach. One couple set out their stall by moaning out load so they were basically ignored for the rest of the trip, they also moaned about the Barcelona Hotel and everything else in between but they were the only ones. While we and everybody else were stood about in the puddles making the best of it waiting for a replacement coach for the missing one that had broken down Viking's response was to replace her case and to dry clean the affected clothes and that was the start of the incredibly high level of service that we were to experience throughout the entire trip.
