Wednesday 23rd September - Little Train

We saw the train and hightailed it up to the Cathedral Saint Nazaire. The train had a stop there and we piled on board and paid the man the €12 and away we went. Thank goodness for that as it was at the top of the hill overlooking the Midi Canal and was as windy as and cold with it.

The train wended it's way around the narrow streets of Beziers and got down to the River Orb area. Very soon we were at the nine locks system and had a 20 minute stop to take photos etc.

We chatted with a lovely English couple, Lilian and Fred, who invited us to stay at their place in Surrey next time we are in the UK. Deal.

There were a couple of boats in the locks on their way up the 3rd of nine and it made me somewhat envious that they were doing the trip on the Midi Canal and not us. Maybe next time??

The little train got us back to town and we got down off the high spot as it was still cold in the wind and sort a place for lunch.
