Our next journey was by train – one we've made before, and probably our favourite one, though not usually chosen, partly because of its cost, and partly because we like to book further ahead than is generally possible by train. Anthony gave us a lift to the station, and our neighbour Jo met us at Perpignan so it was a convenient journey too.
