Mediterranean - 15 - May 27 2023 Montpellier (Sete) France Medieval town Carcassone
The last few days haven't been blog friendly - tech issues. It appears to be that yahoo is bogged down and that is how I've been getting the photos transferred to my computers and onto the blog. Yesterday the process took 3 hours. So today I have given myself a limit of 1 hour. So if the blog seems a bit disorganized, sorry, I'm just afraid that if I wait a few days until I'm home it'll never get updated.
Today was Sete (pronounced (set) and we have another long bus ride into Carcassone to see a medieval town, castle, and church. The photos of the site were irresistable. This leg of the cruise is nearing the end. We've seen Italy, France, and tomorrow will be the only stop in Spain.
Sail in view.
The tour included lunch at a very nice restaurant called the Dungeon. First course was peas in cream sauce, with a poached egg and crispy bacon on top. Main course was beef with carrot and mashed potatoes served with wine. Dessert was a brownie with hazel nuts, creme anglaise and ice cream followed by coffee - needed to stay awake. The bread was sliced from large loaves that looked like donuts. The meal took a long time, 1.5 hrs. But we didn't really care, many others left lunch early to wander on their own.
I hope you got a jar of the beans and meat to take home! That castle looks impressive, how does it rank on your global castle rankings?!?
