Carcassonne: Fun with autowash. Oh and our wedding anniversary.

Today marks two years of being married! Wahoo! To celebrate we went to visit Carcassonne- a legitimately cool medieval town in the south of France. The cathedral there was built in the 6th century, while most of the remainder of the town was built in the 13th century:  a.k.a. super olden timey. It was so cool walking down the alleyways and onto the tower walls imagining what might have happened all those hundreds of years ago. 


Fun fact: everything is old and stone, but the toilets are those modern mechanical ones with the electronic door. Traumatising highlight of the day for me was entering said toilet, hearing the door close and lock behind me, then having the bathroom do an autowash all over my feet. It was cold and gross. But let's look at the positives of the situation: my shoes were canvas and dried quickly in the sun; the water was free of visible floaters; and can YOU say that you've had a medieval bathroom autowash experience? It's my new claim to fame!


Unfortunately I don't have photographic evidence of the autowash, but we snapped some other pics of the city.

We're not in New Zealand now...

Cathedral built in the 6th century. And yes, that is a shop selling Australia souvenirs behind me. Why wouldn't you buy a kangaroo road sign at an ancient French city? Totally logical.

Some stained glass action.
