Moseying over to Montpellier
Day 1: Went by train from Toulouse to Montpellier and it was seamless 🙂 Got to Carnon beach via the T3 tram line and the navette (free shuttle) - Very easy and good connections. It is set up very similarly to Toulouse so that made it simple to understand. Cheap pricing too: 1,60€ each way. … Continue reading Moseying over to Montpellier
Countryside pour le weekend
3rd weekend of Oct just before the lockdown and I had a day off. Though there were already restrictions in place with a curfew that didn't deter me from... ADVENTURE! :D. After a glorious sleep-in, M + I were off to our first stop in Albi for a beautiful menu formule 3 course lunch at … Continue reading Countryside pour le weekend
Weekend @ Sarlat-la-Canéda
My friends and I rented a car from Drivvy and my friend J drove V&J and I to Sarlat-la-Canéda. It's a lovely little town about 2.5 hours away. The drive there was lovely and I fell asleep and woke up to some major crazy navigation as we were driving down a random backstreet laneway LOL … Continue reading Weekend @ Sarlat-la-Canéda
Day trip à Carcassonne
Up by 7am, we had a big breakfast that got us going to walk to the Saint-Cyprien market. Cute and small, it has it's own character. There was a massive pumpkin the size of a massive pizza pan and some nice lookin soup in it 🙂 We then went with Blablacar and had a good … Continue reading Day trip à Carcassonne
Another big day in Paris , day 2 of 2
After we made some simple breakfast, we went to the Orange store to get T’s phone hooked up with my SIM. We had to wait a bit but it was worth it as the employee was friendly and helpful. After that, we popped into Hardware Society! This is the second branch from Melbourne. Delicious coffee … Continue reading Another big day in Paris , day 2 of 2

Fooding in Paris, again :9
I finally made it into the heart of Paris for the first time this year. It was super hot, busy and crowded. It was funny being back. There were just people everywhere and while the smaller cities were busy, it wasn't teeming with humans EVERYWHERE. Went to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 6th arrondisment, to catch up with J&M. It … Continue reading Fooding in Paris, again :9
Fooding in Lille… it’s been ok :/
Food has been alright. Could be that I didn't pick properly but it's still been a good experience. I came across an asian grocer and got food to make Vietnamese bun and rice paper rolls! 😀 I miss Asian food that is inexpensive, authentic and accessible. For a lunch, I just had a casual vegetarian … Continue reading Fooding in Lille… it’s been ok
