Carcasonne to Montpellier

Carcasonne is absolutely amazing! UNESCO listed world heritage site, it is such a beautifully restored medieval town, making it feel as it was some Theme Park. The person(Eugene xx) who planned this 13th century town's restoration took 50 years, he was the same person who restored the notre dame. Imagine the amount of educated gut feel you needed to have to predict what the ruins would have looked like before and how best to restore it. I never realised how difficult it is a job to restore something that so many of us just carelessly visit and enjoy!













By night...





After abour 2 hours of walking through the castle and parts of the doubled walled city, the heat wave took over us. We went back to the car and had our korean spicy cup noodles and some fruit for lunch. Yummmm.... more predictable than french food and maybe better suited to our tastes budds. There's just more satisfaction when there's chilli!

Drove 1.5hrs onto Montpellier where we will spend a night. Quite a pleasant hotel, so thats good news. It was too hot to head out so we had an afternoon siesta till 645pm. Decided to chill today and keep dinner simple so we picked up some dinner from the supermarket which happened to be just behind the block! So convenient! Pumped up our tank, got some prawns, bread, milk, snacks, fruits, ham, salad, tomoatoes) and had a sumptous meal.
