8th July - Montpellier

We were originally told that we could heck into the hostel at 8, so we waited in the lobby until we could. We asked when we were allowed to go in the rooms. It turned out that the hostel closed from 10am-3pm for cleaning so we went for a walk to find somewhere to lie down. We went to the where that we’d been to the night before, led down and immediately fell asleep. We woke up after about half an hour – not so refreshed – and searched for an open internet cafe... to no avail.

So we wandered to McDonalds, I ate and bummed out. We decided to walk because the weather was lovely. We found another park and sat by the lake. We were approached by beggars. The irony: giving money to people when WE were the homeless ones! We slept for a bit on the grass again, then at 3 went back to the hostel where we were finally allowed back in out rooms. We showered, read and relaxed. We went out to find an internet cafe again so we could contact Nomeh. We organised the trains to the train station near her in Les Arcs, Draguignon, then went for some food as the hostel didn’t have a kitchen. We found a nice little restaurant which served THE most delicious curry, rice and naan bread. Then we went back to the hostel, well-fed and tired.

<-- Eating our delicious curry!
