The temperature is rising but so is the humidity in fact it is wet so I am heading south. Today's trip around the southern cities of Beziers, Montpellier and Perpignan were not impressive, a little like my gite in Carcassonne shabby chic but more shabby than chic and as for Narbonne Plage even Blackpool is not that desolate in the winter.
I am staying in a cheap and cheerful hotel in Perpignan tonight, the staff are friendly and obviously Anglophiles I even give the waitress the benefit of the doubt, although she was 6' 2" with size 11 boots and no bum, the food was excellent but I do feel that service staff do have a certain view on us Brits. When I asked for a steak the waitress immediately asked me "how do you want it, well done?" She seemed mollified when I asked for it medium but of course the chef had heard all this so he just removed the horns and threw it on the plate, I have had a more cooked bleu in other restaurants but I am not complaining it was tender and very good indeed.
