12-07-2013 A trip to Montpellier

 

We arranged to go to Montpellier, to pick up my grandson for a visit. We went the night before and stayed in a lovely hotel, which happened to be beside the tram lines , which have now replaced 90% of the traffic in central Montpellier. so after finding the hotel and having a little rest, we got on a tram and were taken into the centre, where we found a VEGETARIAN restaurant, which was a great surprise in this meat eating nation !

 

Hotel Abelia….nice colour scheme (and no i did not pick that room !!)

Room with matching guest…..I don’t remember what Dave had just said……

We wish you a pleasant stay in our SCHOOL……uuuumm !

There are two more colour schemes, one all blue with white swallows, and the other (which we were on and i didn’t get to take the photo) was “under sea fantasy” very whacky.

 

In …Place de la Comedie……

Here i am texting a friend (probably you Karl) to say yipppeee  !

Vegetarians exist, and “Monters” rocks !

This was a nice cool spot, just before the hustle and bustle of the street market…..

I can’t imagine this was the REAL stones, (but they had a picture of Mick on the side of the stage !)

This “rock” was in a small park we walked through, it has misters on the top to keep all the moss growing……..imagine !
