We have arrived in St Jean (south of France near the Spanish border) after the stress of leaving our homes and an eventful day enroute from Nice to here. It started at -6.30am with dropping off the rental car and being locked on the property with the gates closing behind us and no one in sight to help - 20 minutes before our train departed. We miraculously made the train only to find Gabe's wallet and their credit cards were still back in the car. (Now Maree has the power of having all the money.) We journeyed on and had one further panic when we changed trains and thought the train was leaving without Gabe. The challenge of travelling through France with limited (Gabe and Biz) or no (Maree) french has also added to our adventures.
It is raining here in St Jean but we are trusting that it will clear by tomorrow when we begin the toughest day of the trek, 27km over 1400 metres on the Pyreness mountains. It can only get easier after that.
At the end of the day the question is - is it better to travel with friends without your money or to be flexible and alter your schedule in order to have money?
