Lots of fantastic sites seen on this rather spontaneous trip [erm, primarily a trip to Wales, heh]. all places visited with: Day Of The Dead, Keïteï and Subversive. Day 1 So we are queuing for the ferry down to France, and who can we see queuing next to us?! Sx-riffraff and his crew! heh, we did Belgium Road Trip together last year.. that's completely unscheduled meet up, i love random encounters, bizarre, random meetings :) Crachoir Swimming Pool After a fail in an abandoned house (which wasn't quite abandoned and we opened the door to meet a very angry lady and her dog, lol) we headed for this swimming pool. Build in 1915, with lot's of eye catching details. Cite du Dragon Stop number two, an abandoned Chinese restaurant, unfortunately smashed to bits. Chambre du Commerce Famous CDC, there's some work going on here atm, floor has been all stripped down, and there's lot's of random junk lying aroun...
