We arrived in Montpellier, greeted by the Shark at the train station. We walked through this most beautiful city to her lovely flat. There, awaiting us, was a surprise: an ash+sav birthday treat! A cake (a full one...I was too slow with the camera), wine, and a biking adventure for the following day. Little did we know at the time how special the cake would be, as now we are home and see the full impact of the coronavirus, we appreciate that Savvy will be spending her 13th birthday in quarantine!
Thank you, Shark!
The bike ride to Palavas-les-Flots in the Mediterranean Sea was splendid! The bike route from Montpellier was top notch. Savvy and I still break out into hysterics when we remember Shark being charged by a black stallion.
Shark assured us this white tower in the background was special. Voted the most beautiful in the world, if I remember correctly. I think no, pas tres jolie!
Despite tired legs, we made it out for a mini walk to some of Shark's favourite spots later that night.
And then a tasty shark-cooked curry which lasted two glorious nights!
I don't remembering things getting so silly, but I guess they did!!!
The next day, social distancing was in full effect. Thankfully, boulangeries are an essential service!
To sum up our beautiful and funny Auntie Shark, a few more pictures :
One last night in Montpellier, when Savvy schooled me at le Monopoly, checking in with le Requin regularly to make sure her flights were on track (they were!) and then we were off on our next adventure!
