Thursday 9th August part 2
Today the kids and I spent the morning in Bagneres de Luchon again. After already spending a morning here I decided to treat the kids to the swimming pool. In typical French style it didn't open till 11am so a walk down the high street was needed first. Whilst walking to the pool I had to warn Heather that the pool was outdoors and not heated. She is spoilt with usually swimming in nice warm pools at home and couldn't understand why it was outdoors and not heated. Anyway after changing into our swimmers, rash shirts and hats we headed to the pool. Going through the stream of water to remove any dirt and grass gave us all what we were in for. It was freezing. Heather got straight in and acted like a fish as she does. Callum put half a toe in and got back out again. I thought I'm not going through all this to take your toe for a swim. With a little persuasion everyone was in and wet. We lasted about 15 minutes before Callum went blue and Heathers teeth started chattering. The effort was worth it as they did have fun, it was just brief fun. We then met up with Neil for our picnic lunch in a lovely park then headed home out of the valley for the last time. Tomorrow packing.
