In the first night i walked little bit around the city and sat on the main square where some people came to chat with me.
Because i saw that the city is full of homeless people i didn't want to sleep in the center of the city because of security reasons for the first night.
I remembered that little bit out of the old center there was an overpass under what i could sleep (forecast said that it will be raining in the night.
But unfortunately there was a fence and i was too tired to walk back so i went sleep next to it and the first night was horrible.
For a start the place was just 3 meters from railway and in the night big cargo trains can make a lot of noise.
Plus in the night it started raining heavily several times but luckily there was an old mattress next to me with what i could build a basic shelter.
Monday i went to another tour in the city to find some begging places.
After that i did begging in many different places and in different times but they all were horrible and i didn't make almost any money.
I think the reason for that is that the city is full of beggars and homeless people and half of them are young people. And also the streets in the center are very wide so its very easy for people to just ignore and pass by.
In the evening one man with his daughter came to me and offered a place to sleep.
So we went to his place were we talked about my trip and had another good dinner and shower.

Tuesday we had our breakfast together and then we all went our separate ways.
I went back to the main square. There little bit before 10 am one university student came to me with a bottle of wine and asked for a bottle opener. We started to talk and he offered some wine to me also. But in 20 minutes time all kinds of morning drinkers started to gather around us so i left.
In the day time i tried begging in many different places again but once again it didn't work out.
In the evening few drinking buddies back from Pisa recognized me. I met them on the main drinking square in Pisa (Piazza dei Cavalieri) and there he told me that he will buy a van and invited me to travel with him.
And he actually bought a van and has been traveling for several months already and somehow we happened to be at the same time in Montpellier.
On the road they also had picked up a musician from Peruu. So in the evening we walked on the streets while he played latin american music. After that they invited me to one Latino bar where we had a drink.
But the girls in that bar sure do know how to dance.
Later we went back to their van and i slept also in their van.
Someday i should have photos from this night also.
Wednesday i decided not to try begging anymore.
I saw that the new movie Interstellar is out in the cinemas and because i haven't visited cinema for a year i went to watch a movie in a proper way.
In the evening one who had red my blog recognized me by my sign and came to talk with me.
He offered me a couch to sleep at his place so we went there.
He was very curious about my trip so we talked about that a lot with a little drink.
I recommend to visit Montpellier when you are in South France. Because the Montpellier itself is a very beautiful city with many beautiful sights and buildings. And if you are young person then its especially a very good place to visit because its a university city and here is a lot of young people. And here is so many young beautiful girls.
But unfortunately for me I'm losing more money in this city than i can earn so i have to leave earlier than i planned.
I planned before to go from here straight to Barcelona but now i think that i will do a stop in Perpignan which is the last city before Spain. There i hope i can earn some money because otherwise i will arrive in Barcelona with empty pockets.
And right now I'm going for a coffee with the guy who hosted me on Monday evening and the i will start walking again.
So far 2205 km.
