Day 3 - Lyon to Montpellier

Hit the road, then pulled over at services for breakfast, and what a breakfast it was






















Walkie talkies not charged so comms was hand signals only. Unfortunately we didn't agree in advance what those hand signals were. The result was gav very nearly running out of petrol

Gav waved at frequently by his gay biker buddies

Rush hour in Montpellier nightmare, park at station and walk to find hotel, first one we come to is fine, have room next door to Porno shoot, unfortunately not invited in
















Have bath and glass of red wine, very nearly didn't make it out

Slippiest street ever, choose restaurant based on how fit the waitress was, turns out to be fit but had had her sense of humour removed. They had rack of lamb. Awesome. quite pissed by the time it arrives...





















Three bottles of wine and a digestive later we head for Monday night nightlife. For a town with 70,000 students very few were out!

Play pool with random frenchies, drink jd and coke. Confidence high for speaking French. Manage to make some sense, or so we thought anyway. Aren't the French small...
















Get kicked out of bar at closing time and head back to hotel royal. Bump into Vanessa Paradis, who invites us back to hers. We decline as it's late and she's not that fit. Back at room, Decide a nightcap is in order, so pile into the whiskey. 2 or so hours, lots of tunes and after too many whiskeys we pass out.

quote of the day - where is everyone?

Gupdate: Hammered
