4. Tag in Montpellier
Today we were out cycling towards Montpellier again. I thought we would take a motorcycle tour, but Lothar preferred biking. Well, maybe he still feels a bit uncomfortable with me...

This morning we left a bit later, it was already 9:00 AM. But that doesn't matter. You slowly get used to living without a watch. After 6 hours of driving, we arrived at the campsite without any particular incidents. We took care of necessary things but then quickly headed to the restaurant. We studied the menu and ordered. Lothar had chicken on a skewer and I ordered a paella along with a salad. What we received was a salad, undressed. Vinegar and oil from a packet. No olive oil or balsamic. It didn't taste good at all. I ordered paella, but received a lasagna instead. However, it didn't taste bad. Lothar's chicken seemed to have run off the skewer and only lightly touched the pan. The skin was white and it didn't look very good. But hunger took care of it. We paid and left. My eyes became heavy and it was time for an afternoon nap. I woke up at 6:00 PM and took some pictures before nightfall. It goes dark here very quickly. The temperatures have changed over the last 380 km. It has become much warmer. I think around 25 degrees but there's still a strong wind. Still very pleasant. I’m wearing shorts and a T-shirt but I do need a light jacket now. Tomorrow I plan to ride the motorcycle inland. Let’s see what the next day brings.
