good morning from another incredible city in the south of France we made
our way here from Montpellier a few days ago and are lucky enough to secure a house
sitters here in the medieval city of Rodez a major benefit of house sitting other than
saving money is that the host recommends some of the best stuff the whole town
has so this morning i'm on my way to grab breakfast from their favourite patisserie
got them, hope Emily likes them
what an amazing start to the day that was delicious we've spent the morning and the
last couple of days behind our laptop so it's time to go and explore Rodez
how
cool is this so apparently two times a week Rodez has this massive market that goes all
through the city there's fresh food and fruit and it smells so amazing and there's also
like people cooking stuff so like paella and aligot which is like a potato dish so much fun
look how big it is
so there's not that much to do in Rodez there's a really awesome cathedral that
we're gonna go check out in a little bit but it's such a cute hilltop town in the south of
France and this is one of the major perks we've already realized about doing things
like trusted house sitters you get to come to places you probably never would have come to
we have been here for a couple of days but we've just been behind our laptop
working for most of it so we haven't really explored any of the city which
is a bit of a shame because it's a fifth century city it's so old there's
hundreds of years of history here so today we're just gonna walk around and enjoy
this town is so cool it's such a unique blend of history and old stuff and they're modern
keep trendy things like they're setting up for some event and it's a Tuesday afternoon
that's so random there's also people drinking already and it's like 10 a.m
in the morning but you walk past all these cool old amazing buildings as well it's so much fun
so we got this house sit through a website called trusted house sitters we've actually been on it
for a couple of years but this is our first house suit the first year was really just dreaming
it's a one-time subscription so you pay a fee once per year and you get access to a map of
the entire world where you can see all different people that need their house and their pets taken
care of while they're away such a wholesome idea and it's really a win-win for both sides because
they get someone that looks after their pets in their house and we get free accommodation and
cuddles with puppies one of the other things that people don't really talk about missing
when they're on travel is food like yeah we'll get some really good food and Italian food in Rome and
French food in France and all these amazing cuisines but you just miss the home cooking
so with house sitters we get to actually go to the supermarket buy our own stuff and cook it up it's
also really good for the budget because we're not eating out every day so good for the budget
what a cool cathedral i think it's the really tall ceilings that are what
amaze me every single time it looks like you can go up a level as well
ready to go
we decided to make some nachos for lunch today not the healthiest of options but
delicious now we're going to sit and watch some Mrs Maisel which we have been loving at
the moment so nice to just feel like at home and like you're having a bit of a break from traveling
part of the gig when we're doing the house sitting is getting to care for some gorgeous animals and
taking them for walks in this case we've got two very adorable puppies and if that's all it costs
i'd probably pay to do that so it's well worth it anyway that is Rodez tomorrow we're
headed to a whole other country, Belgium i'm so excited to try all their food and drink waffles
