Today I arrived in Collioures with Katerina and met up with my couchsurfer Noëlie!
In the morning Katerina and I said goodbye to Ouassini who has been just such an amazing host. Every evening we shared good conversations around the dinner table and talked until 11 or 12am.
The first stop we passed by was an abandoned airplane parking lot! And of course I suggested to check it out urban exploration is always a must in my books! So we climbed the barb wire fence. Luckily there was an opening where there wasn't barbed up. But in any case it was a bit tough as there was not a lot of grip with the mesh fence. We got in all the same. And it is just so cool inside! We opened the rear hatch doors to discover our treasure trove of the caveat of the airplane that once was! The interior was decapitated but still retained the feeling of an airliner that crossed oceans and brought people together. We took some really cool photos exploring the plane and got out of there soon.
Katarina actually teared her pants coming out so we went back quickly to Ouassini's place and got her some new pants!
In the evening we arrived at Collioures. It was more of what I was used to in the south east! Beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters. Katerina and I tours around the town with Noëlie who just came back from Argentina 2 month ago! So we could all speak to at least 2 other people in the group but not all 3 at the same time! Spanish, English and French! Noëlie was in Argentina for 2 years originally with her ex boyfriend but then traveling on her own. She really enjoyed speaking with Katerina and I simply stood back and listened to their conversation for most of the time because I was really happy for them.
In the evening Katerina left for Ouassini's place by herself and Noëlie and I walked around the beach some more.
We went back to her parents place and met with her whole family
She has a small brother Nathan and sister Eva. Her brother is really curious and a charmer I loved talking to him at the dinner table as he tried to act adult. He is 11 years old! Her mother cooked an amazing Roti du Porc with potatoes!
In the evening we checked out Argeles sur mer and walked around the beach together. We really got to know each other without reservation sharing our relationship stories. And now she is going to come with my cycling to the next stop in Girona!
