First, let me say that the tram in Montpellier is prbs the coolest public transport I’ve ever taken. It’s above ground, but it’s also painted in insane colors with flowers and stuff all over the side. On the bus we met this random Russian guy who was asking us questions and telling us about his trip through France. At first it was a little sketch, but he was actually really nice. He was pretty funny, making fun of the bus driver for legit taking a 30+ minute break when he told us to be back in 10 haha. Yay for meeting random peoples!
Our hotel was quite a surprise, actually, though actually it was quite nice. What we expected was a villa, with a pool and bar on the side. Well, the pool was closed, and we couldn’t for the life of us find the bar lol. But we had free Wi-Fi and a bathroom and a nice view of the warehouses haha so all was well. But we did run into a problem—three of us and a two-person bed cause we didn’t want to pay for an extra room haha. Our solution was to have Ronnie curl up at the foot of the bed and Rafa and I would lie in it ‘normally,’ aka with our legs tucked so as to not kick Ronnie in the face. Yeah, that failed miserably. I slept on the ground, which was actually quite comfy, not gonna lie, especially with a blanket under me. Apparently I am meant to sleep on the ground…I could totes be a hobo now!
There’s not much to do in Montpellier, since it was a little cold for the beach and we were rather far outside the city. Yay relaxation day! We didn’t get into the city until like 5pm with our little picnic, aka breakfast/lunch/dinner. At that point I was ready to sit in the road and eat…SO HUNGRY. But the first park we went to was really really sketchy…we soon realized that Montpellier is a little hood, surprise! I didn’t notice cause I was starving, but apparently everyone was looking at us as we walked in. We did find a nice bigger park right after so nbd, but oh god I devoured our bread and cheese and pate om nom. We also had the brilliant idea to share a 5L jug of wine between the three of us. Yeeeeeeeeah that ended hilariously. Essentially we got rather drunk in the middle of this random park with these French peoples staring at us laughing a bit. It was great craic though…Ronnie ran around afraid of the dogs and birds and we started speaking only in Spanish so the French wouldn’t we were American ahaha. And on the tram home Ronnie made friends with a little kid, playing Peek-a-Boo and saying ‘Bonjour’ like the entire way home. Rafa is such a menace with her feet, stepping on all our flip-flops and breaking Ronnie’s haha. We all fell asleep when we got home like immediately for a bunch of hours, and watched houuuuuuuurs of Modern Family when we finally woke up. Still drunk, we fell asleep—it was much easier for Rafa to fall asleep on the floor that way :P Our exciting Montpellier experience ended a little too soon, but I was stoked for Paris and to see Brittany!! :D
Slán go fóill!
