The friends we were/are staying with in Montpellier have been amazing. Fish is 61, and last year climbed Mt Ventoux without stopping! We went out for a pretty quick 70k before 11am, and he thought it'd be fun do a bit of a hill climb (See above photo! It's no joke) Bar the climb, we were constantly chasing him and he's still fncking fast!
Our friend Simon came to meet us yesterday, arriving with stories of how he'd ended up sleeping in the gardens of a convent the night before, keeping a beady eye out for the sisters who he was warned would probably do unimaginable things to him if caught.
Then another act of great kindness, which we have experienced a great deal of on our travels, Fish gave Simon a lovely little peugeot so he could travel with us further east! It's even got a lovely supercorsa on it! (Me and angus are still a bit jealous!)
We went diving in a lake yesterday, and I got some air off a BMX track jump, before landing in a massive panic that my bike had broken and can't decide if I've strained all my stomach muscles from all that, or the incredible amount of laughing we did last night!
We are going to explore Montpellier a bit more today before heading NE towards Nimes in our new flying V formation.
