In the South of France to achieve this is no big deal, though we certainly won't be doing it in the suggested 4h 24mins. We intend to make it in double this time, driving at a leisurely pace, stopping along the way for a picnic lunch :)

Here is a map of the bigger picture.

The road will not be straight...

And there will be many beautiful views along the way...

with the Pyrenees Mountains always to one side of us.

This morning the sun in shining, the clan has been fed and battle stations are currently being manned.

wow this sound so cool!! looking forward for the pics along the way and don't stop too much in Toulouse I have a friend that lives there and told it is very violent there hahaha I don't know...bon voyage!!!!!

Turns out it was raining the whole way so no pics this time! We stopped near Toulouse to eat without any trouble. I hadn't heard that it was violent there.

wow...excellent photography.
look so very beautiful.

Thanks very much. They were taken the last time we made this journey.

even in February, the winter landscape can be evocative and mysterious .. I bet with the wildlife its lovely there in late spring .. happy travels

It sure is. In a month, the blossoms will all arrive. It's pretty spectacular around here when everything is in bloom...

Wow, this long drive would be spectacular as depicting in pictures. Beautiful clicks.

Thanks! It was a fun drive in the end :)

Looking forward to the journey later 💯🐒

No pics this time. Rain stopped play!

Welcome back the the northern hemisphere haha 💯🐒

Hey there!! Long time no see :D How are you?!!?! I didnt know you live in France! Let me know when you are in Paris, thats where I am at for the next few month. Sunny greetings! Liz

Hey Liz! Don't think we will make it to Paris on this occasion. We are way down in the south house hunting currently. And will check in with my mum in the UK in the Spring, but after that we still have no idea where we will go...

You're more than welcome to join us here in the South any time :)

Have fun and enjoy the scenic view.

Thanks very much! Turns out it was raining and I slept most of the way :)

Do you speak any Languages beside English?

I'm getting better at French but I sure ain't perfect!

Did I miss the news, that you are in France?! Since when? Was it because of the Bali volcanic activities? Welcome to Europe!

haha! Thanks for the welcome :)

We felt like 2 years was enough in the end. Bali gave us what we needed and our mothers were getting stressed with us for not returning to Europe enough! So, here we are. Sabrina's mum is in France, mine is in the UK.

I understand their worries! They like to cuddle their grand-children and want to be hugged as well! welcome back!

Ahhh, funny, I jusssst emailed you this question, these days I get more answers/response from Steemit! Haaaaaa!!! The magic number.....
