Day 14 - Montpellier Sporting Event

by: Matt

Man what a rough morning I had today getting up! Probably one too many drinks from the night before. Nothing like a little taste of the local culture! Anyways, I have to comment on the lunch that we had at Le Vieux Four restaurant today before the water sports activity. It was definitely some of the best French cuisine you can get for such a cheap price which was only 40 euros or $54.56.

After experiencing a great lunch, we headed on to Canoe Le Moulin, located just right outside of the city. For this activity there were two fees which included the 60 euros for all four of us for the entrance fee or $81.84 and the fee for renting two canoes for four hours which was 56 Euros or $76.38 in U.S. currency. This was definitely another great experience to mark off the list as well. After our embarrassing moments of flipping both canoes at least twice and being soaking wet the whole four hours, we all agreed that this experience was one we would have to share with our friends and family. After laughing our whole way through, we all realized that canoeing takes more skill than we thought.
