France 2010 - Stinking Drains...

We had planned to go to Carcassone on the Wednesday but when we had arrived back from a night out in Collioure we were met with a horrendous stench coming from the drains…

To get rid of the smell we sprayed air freshener around in the bathroom, put the plugs in the plug holes, the lid down on the toilet, closed the door and went to bed.

The following morning we were told by Madam Butterfly that the pipe work to the drain was blocked in the other villa where a couple from Scotland were staying.  The couple didn’t say much but we never saw the guy without a drink in his hand.  Madam Butterfly explained that she had the plumbers coming to check things out on the Tuesday and advised us to be well clear of the villa due to the predictable stench that would occur during the work.  Therefore we decided to go on our trip to Carcassonne on the Tuesday instead.
