Lyon – Montpellier – Barcelona

March 14, 2008 · Posted in Eurail, France, Spain, train travel 

Lyon – Montpellier
A French woman sitting next to me offers to share her celebrity magazines. I attempt to translate some words, but instead we play a game of charades describing the escapades of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and Lindsey Lohan.

Montpellier – Barcelona
In a train compartment that looks like it came from the set of Boogie Nights. All 70s: Earth tones and large modular seats. I expected to see a shag rug.

Just as I think that my last 24 hours on a train is too much, a woman next to me recounts how she spent 50 hours traveling in the back of a vegetable truck in Morocco. I´m reminded that everything is relative.

    Hi, my plane may be stranded on Saturday afternoon in Lyon France because of the Volcano. Do you have information on how to get the train from Lyon to Barcelona on Saturday, April 17. The various web sits are not helpful. Thanks, Richard
