Day 3: Biarrity - Carcassone - Toulon

We had ahead one of the hardest days of all our journey, not only for the kms we had planed to drive, but because we had only one stop schedule in the middle of a whole day of highway.
The day started with a little scare regarding gas. We knew few litres were left in the trunk from the day before, but being in the centre of Biarritz, we just assume it wouldn’t be much of a problem to find a gas station the way out of the city. We were wrong. The first one we came across was only close to Bayone. I could swear I could already hear one of the horses peeing so the other one could keep on having something to drink. Thank God we were saved by the low gas consumption of the prior day.

Around half past noon we were finally heading towards Carcassone, where we made the only sightseeing stop of the day.
With the tiredness accumulating and the heavy rain that followed us the whole day getting worse and worse through the night, we decided to shorten our day and sleep at a Gas Station about 20kms to Toulon.

Regarding the 2cv, despite the long drive, he managed to keep a steady pace along the whole way, enjoying much more that I did the rain and cold weather.
KILOMETRES (Total): 1848km 
KM SINCE LAST POST: 750
GAS SPENT(Total):115.16
