My last hike with the group is around Lac Salagou; the lake is close to Lodeve (50 km from Montepllier), the lake is one of the most beautiful places to spend a day. The best way is to go around the lake on a VTT bike (mountain bike) but also it is very nice to walk, it is just a looooooong walk, 27 km!
>The soil is red, the trees are different degrees of green, and tons of colorful flowers around, the scenery is amazing; perfume of the flowers is everywhere is the air, walking and breathing flowers perfume, what a wonderful day.
We are a group of 6 people, I got a ride from Montpellier with Laura, young and sweet French girl; 2 of the guys in the group speak English, by now I can carry one a conversation in French, but it is nice to be able to also communicate in English.
This is a mountain where are lots of love expressions – hearts, names, love declarations written by people using white rocks on the bare red soil of the mountain. It looks really pretty - red, white and in between yellow flowers, wow it is nice to see so much love….hmmm….love.
Well, we started walking at 10am it is 6 o’clock we are still walking and it seems that we are a bit lost.
Finally we arrived in a village and stopped in front of a house to ask for directions.
A man comes out of the house and my friends ask him what would be the shortest way to get around the lake and get to the our cars. It turns out that we have at least another 8 km to walk to the parking lot. I guess we looked quite tired, so the man is offering us a ride to our car. We are happy and grateful to this man, so nice of him, we were indeed tired, is has been a long day.
We get to the car and Bernard is turning on the music, he is got good music and it is loud. We danced a bit just for fun in the parking lot, they were yelling we are tourists! just to tease me.
It is was a very nice day and I had a great time! Provence is beautiful!
