Flamingos at “Point d’Or"
BoD trip advisor #1 to Montpellier
A less important report from BoD members in Montpellier
Tram line 3 brings you to the beach and a guarantee to see
Flamingos. However, it comes with adventures if you at the same time consider
going to the airport. Highways with heavy traffic blocks birdwatchers from the
beach itself, if not brave enough to jump and run. The way to the airport appears
deceivingly simple, maybe only 1000 m’s the way the bloody birds fly. Between
the desired target (airport check in) and the birdwatchers is a boring
industry area with no sidewalks. Zig-zacking through concrete buildings and
parking lots takes you eventually (if lucky) to the gypsy (no offense to them!)
camp and hoards of barking aggressive dogs. Some walking along the highway in
the hot sun holds some promise to eventually make it to the airport entrance.
At our scouting excursion the weather was nice and the spring flowers blooming,
but in hot August this could potentially be the metal smelter from hell. Maybe
some heat loving lizards like the place, but with 20 kilos of luggage on tow or
in the rucksack this is a potential nightmare. Yet, the Flamingos are to be
seen for those keen on adventures!
