Perpignan, France
01 / Sep / 2009 Filed in: France
Once in Perpignan, first stop is the beach to relax and sleep in the sun. Then Visa pour l'Image starts and it is time to enjoy seeing old friends again, visiting photo exhibitions and joining the evening screening shows, before some late dinners in the small streets of Perpignan. The last week of our stay is dedicated to do some small fixes on the car with Val's father, Roger, who has a lot more experience and knowledge in mechanics than us. It is a quick mechanics' training! Roger and Val speak French together while Barry tries to make sense of it. We make up our own words and get to understand quickly what we mean. We add some lights to the roofrack, clean the car again and collect tools and spare parts. Back to Holland by mid September to continue the preparation for the trip to Africa.
