Today we were walking along the beach of Leucate towards the spot where they are currently preparing the beach bar Le Poulpe for the coming season. And we made friends with the watchdog of that nice little restaurant!

Today we visited the Mondial Du Vent which is the Kitesurf World Championship. It takes place every April in Leucate – or in La Franqui to be more precise. We’ve been there already a few years ago but there was no wind then. This time the conditions were good but we didn’t understand the competitions. So we enjoyed the spectacle around instead…

We’re not alone anymore: my father and his partner Arja are joining us for about a week from now on. They flew in from Finland yesterday and arrived in Fitou in the middle of the night. So we’re a team of four now and will make some trips in the region during the next few days.
