MONTPELIER Days 10 and 11
Today’s is going to be a short post. The short version of the last two days is that we made it to Montpelier in the late afternoon after long train delays and too much time spent in train stations. We were hot and exhausted, but it took us quite awhile to find the hostel because someone *coughmecough* forgot to the look up directions from the train station before we left Lourdes. That night we were both suffered from some intense culture shock, so we decided to have McDonalds (I know, I know, but sometimes it’s nice to have something familiar) for dinner and watch a movie in English for a change of pace.
Saturday morning we stumbled upon an adorable market just down the street and we poked around there and a park just a little bit down the road for most of the morning. In the afternoon we grabbed some gelato and people watched in the square for a while. We had a train to catch to Avignon at 4pm so we made our way to the train station plenty early. Montpelier itself was kind of a wash, and in retrospect we would have rather spent another day in Lourdes. Montpelier looked like a very cute city, but it was mostly food and shopping focused, and not in ways that were in our budget. Oh, well, live and learn.
