Toulouse/Carcassonne: July 18-19th

We got into Toulouse around 10am and dropped our stuff off at the hotel and then headed back to the train station to go to Carcassonne.

Carcassonne is an old Roman fortification that is about 2,500 years old. We walked around the old walls, toured the castle and enjoyed exploring the little city. We found out that the castle was the location for the movie Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

As we were heading back to the train station we walked by a lock and some boats using it. It was pretty neat to see.

Once again, our train was delayed. When we finally got back to Toulouse we were pretty hungry so we got our bags, put them in our rooms and went on the hunt for a restaurant. We found a really yummy vegetarian place that had different all-you-can eat options. The first option starts at 11 euros and then you can add an option for 1 euro more.

After dinner we went for a walk and came upon some guys playing some jazz music in the park so we sat and listened to that for a bit. We then headed back to the hotel and played cards in the lobby while drinking some champagne from the Champagne region to celebrate the end to an awesome trip!
