Shops, Train, Rain & Prayers





Today began with a well earned lie in followed by shopping! Rosaries, water bottles, mints, whoopee cushions and glow in the dark Marys were all purchased in 206's favourite shop 'Palais du Rosaire' aka 'Lourdes Woolworths'. Despite a facelift, it is still great value and gives free gifts!

After lunch we had a thanks giving service for the week we've had together and made cards to leave in the grotto.

We then headed out for the road train ride around Lourdes. The French pilgrims weren't quite ready for the loud singing from 206! After a few failed attempts to shush us, they gave up. The Italians on the train loved it though!

Some people then went up to the fort and others did a bit more shopping. It rained hard (again), but this never dampens our spirits.

After dinner we headed out with our 206 candle:




After praying around the statue of the Crowned Virgin, we headed to the grotto for a final visit. We left prayer intentions before lighting our group candle. It's always a very special moment praying together.








We then headed to La Carrefore for our final fun evening of Uno, hot chocolate, croque mosiuers and pizza!
