Leaving Chasseradès for Robyn, Len, Jan and I :(


Our home for the night(s) near Chasseradès, though it nearly wasn't for Robyn, Len, Neil and Jan due to un erreur in the booking. Thanks to the others for sharing.


Our jolly and easygoing host.


Here come the friendly Germans with their donkeys.


Chasseradès main station!


Au revoir to the departing four. Len nearly departed for good when trying to reach the connecting train in Nimes! That's another story!
