The Colourful Boats of Collioure, France - 20th September 2006

On the way back from Dalí's house in Port Lligat, we'd driven through Collioure and thought it worth a second visit, so Nosher and Idobel headed over for a day trip seeing as it's not too far from Grape-Picking Central. The town is attractive in a Cannes type of way (and similarly busy with tourists) and it lives up to its name's inference with many particularly colourful buildings dotted around. There are also a few interesting quirks, including several pictures-frames-on-sticks where different views of the town can be seen, and the colourful boats down in the harbour.
