@ 9:02 PM
And then we found ourselves in Southern France!
After ten days of staying in Leeds, we finally had to say goodbye and head back to London. It was bizarre putting on the packs and hitting the road again, getting back to our nomadic travelling ways! SO, We had 39 hours in London before our flight.. rounds in Black Ops and then make our way to the airport at 3am on Sunday morning!
Our flight from london to toulouse was a beautiful hour flight.. Toulouse is a gorgouse city but as we arrived on a sunday everythingggg was closed, so we had to explore the town without the huatle & bustle, still lovely however :) We stayed with a Spanish/French guy in his student residence and spent the night drinking german beer and hungarian 'cave' alcohol haha! Oh and forcing Alejandro to eat vegemite ... Usual classic reaction!
The next day we said goodbye and boarded a train to Montpellier where we stayed with a Lebanese/Spanish/french girl, she was lovely and so cultural, she cooked up an amazing rice dish for us (that had raisins in it!!!! Who'd knew you could do that?!!?) And she even made us try pickled mussels which were surprsingly amazing for how disgusting they look!
The next day we couldn't drop our luggage off for the day, so Sarah and I took in turns- whilst one minded the bags for an hour, the other would explore Montpellier. I was having a great time, frolicking in the French sunshine, roaming the french streets, listening to French street music, slipping in French dog poo!!!!
Unfortunately our nice day in the sun didn't really go to plan as the sun went down.. After a massive communication problem we ended up spending 5 and a half hours in the cold streets with our packs.. By midnight we were taking turns sleeping, whilst the other watched our packs!!! Pretty insane, we looked like such bums, but eventually our friend came home and rescued us ahhh :D
