• Montauban day 2

    29. september 2024, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C

    It's been a tough few days physically. My body is not quote as strong as I hoped.
    My accommodation here is really nice and comfortable, for which I am thankful.
    I have taken the decision today to curtail my trip and head home on Tuesday. It is an easy journey as I pick up the train here in Montauban. Its a case of discretion is the better part of valour!
    I decided another 4 days travelling, along with
    A further assortment of accommodation was just too much to face. I have been on the move for almost a month and enjoyed the experiences. It's time to quit. The places I will not now be visiting will still be there another time, so all is not lost.
    My plan is to have a slow day today and tomorrow. Get my ticket reservations sorted, and hopefully get the washing dry for repacking. A trip to the museum this afternoon and the Jardine de Plantes tomorrow. I have been to the musee, which is rather more an art gallery. In the basement, there is small archaeological exhibition and references to the Black Prince and the '100 years' war. When I was done with that, I trekked to the station to get my seat reservation ticket, which went pretty smoothly.
    Have had a little walk around the Place National. Everywhere is very quiet. It's Sunday!
    I am having a small glass of wine now, and I will then nuke my dinner and cook the veg.

    Footnote: The sculptor is Antoine Bourdelle.
    Look him up!
