In Collioure: Port-Vendres, another way

October 30, 2024

When the hike was good it was very, very good but when it was bad, it was horrid!

I love seeing cats and this one was very friendly!

Collioure has a lot of beautiful homes like this.

The next to photos are of Chapelle St Vincent

How did she manage to get out there with a baby and a stroller?

The next several photos were taken while I walked along the bay. What a great walking path!

What a spectacular view from the windmill! I was very lucky to find someone that volunteered to take my photo.

The next several photos are hiking on the Sentier du Littoral trail.

A beautiful spot but it would be easy to go sliding down the hill if you aren’t careful!

About this time, Scott called and mentioned he saw we were close to each other and could we meet for lunch. I let him know I was in a dangerous spot and couldn’t talk right now.

Right after making it up the steep climb above, he called again and I broke into tears! He suggested turning around but there was no way I was going down the steep incline. I told him I’d call him back when I got to the top.

Still climbing but at least I’m away from the steep drop to the water.

Just a little farther to the top! My trail goes off to the right and gets to a much better trail going down.

I called Scott and we met up for lunch. What a wonderful reunion!

On the way back from Port-Venderes after lunch.

Walking back from lunch in Port-Venderes, I took this photo looking down on the easy part of the Sentier de Mer trail. Little did I know it was going to become so dangerous, but I survived!

Steve Miller/GrampiesWhat a messy situation you landed yourself in, accidentally of course. Glad nothing serious or permanent resulted and you made it back safely.

Rachael AndersonTo Steve Miller/GrampiesThanks. I’m definitely going to be more careful about what trails I choose and turn around sooner when I realize there’s a problem. The hike before this I did turn around.

Steve Miller/GrampiesTo Rachael AndersonWe're fine ones to talk! Here we are, more or less near the epicentre of the flooding in Valencia, debating whether we should ditch our reservation for tomorrow out here in the sticks or try to find a way to stick to the plan. Hint-tomorrow we will bail and return to the safety of our 10th floor room in Valencia city. More rain is in the forecast.
