Slow news day. . . . We woke up in Colliuore and it was sunny, warm and dazzling. Then we got in the car and headed North. Cloudy, cold and dull made up the rest of the day and the scenery was even dreary. We had lunch in Prades. This is a little town that is trying hard not to attract tourists. . . Any who make it here are lost, misguided, confused or all three. Lunch was fine, however, but very pricey for a dreary little town. We drive on to VillaFranche de Conflent, the home of The Little Yellow train, but it is hard to find. One would think that their #1 attraction would take top billing on the tourist walls, but NO, they hide it. . . . . Must be a French thing. It is too late to ride today so we hunt around and finally find a nifty little B&B run by Robert (RowBear). The B&B is just steps from the train station, so very handy. Now that we've found it and have a room everyone says it is the most beautiful train trip in all of France. We shall be the judge of that. That is all. We have free wi-fi and free breakfast. Life is good.
