Mountains

The last time I you have seen some pictures from the sea. But the great thing about the area I'm living in is that there are also mountains close by! Twice I've been hiking in the Pyrenees already and I enjoyed it a lot!

This is the Canigou, about 9100 ft, that you can see from Perpignan. Some friends have already climbed it, but since you have to stay in a little cabin overnight and I didn't bring any eqipment for that I'm not sure I'll be able to do it.
I took the picture from our balcony. It was last week when there was some snow up there. Since the weather has improved again the snow has melted by now though.

During my first hike with my flatmate Jana we visited a 1000 years old abby, situated high up in the mountains. It was really pretty!

Another time we were hiking along the border of France and Spain. Even though it was really really windy and cold we had a great view and much fun!
Hiking towards the sea you could see the Mediterranean Sea of Spain on the right handside and the Mediterranean Sea of France on the left:

We had a great view on Perpignan and the surrounding towns as well.

Last weekend the summer returned to the South of France, fortunately. My friend Philine from Chemnitz came to see me and we had a great time togehter. I showed her the area, for example the beautiful village Collioure:

On Friday my mum is coming and I'm looking forward to spend a week together with her and show her my "new home".
