... led to like a small wine cellar. We didnt leave there until about 4 like when we left Dijon last time.
But we had some fun in the car on the way back. This time everyone travelled back in the car; Oliver, Natacha, Julliete and me =) We blasted some music ( english songs ^^) and we played a car game but i had to think of french words and they had to think of english ones haha.
Im getting use to eating here and lately my appitite ...

Overall, this trip has been absolutely amazing. I had never traveled alone before but I have to say ...

... two weeks (I was planning on staying for 12 days). So instead I've mapped myself out a really nice road trip throughout Spain, where I will stop in Valencia, Granada, Malaga, Gibraltar, Sevilla, Cordoba, Madrid, and Pamplona. This should take me about the same time, so I'd have approximatelty 2 1/2 weeks. Hopefully my next post will be from a strange and foreign Spanish city.

... to allow rain in Italy to clear. Want to re-visit Lake Garda, see if we can't get the spot right next to the lake we last had some 15 years ago, say. Don't know if it's a good idea to go back to the site of happy memories: can you improve on them in any way, or only spoil their rosy glow?
All well with rig, thankfully - you hardly know it's there!

So here I am, I finally arrived in France. After a difficult goodbye at the airport, I was on my way to the great unknown. But before I started that, I had to go to the bathroom…and brush my teeth; one
thing at a time here. My flights all went really well and I never had to wait more than one hour during my connecting flights. I had a wonderful delicious airplane meal ...

... hill full of massive bugs and locusts. It was this night I had my first freak out. We were drinking wine whilst engaging in philisophical convosation when I heard a noise which sounded exactly like Hyienas. When I turned to see six massive badgers I ran and screamed like a small girl to my tent. The most embarassing part is that I hadn't registered them as badgers and I was screaming "Hyienas!!"

Tout le monde sait qu'un voyage de 2 mois ne s'improvise pas et nécessite quelque peu d'organisation. Tout le monde? C'est ce que je me disais jusqu'à ce qu'on m'appelle le vendredi 17 juillet alors que j'étais encore en vacances pour me demander si j'étais intéressé par une prestation en Hollande.
"Allo Pysnoo. Serais-tu intéressé pour partir en Hollande?
Euh??? Ais-je le choix?
Bah en fait, pas vraiment!

... the Grand Canyon - we sat at the top of the waterfall wading around in the cool water.

We then travelled back to a small town called Lunas where we had dinner in the fab chateau Lunas overlooking the river through the middle of town

This was a great way to end our stay in Herepian

... chatting with Laki the Hungarian. Now to those who don't know what a URAL motorbike is, it is EXACTLY a BMW R71 of 1940 with all the mod cons and accessories you would expect of the period - drum brakes all round and even a modern foot operated gear change! Made in Russia, cos it was Stalin that bought one, disassembled it and reverse engineered an entire factory to knock out replicas in order to mobilise his military ambitions. English is Laki's 2nd / 3rd / 4th language, but he ...

16 November Now in Hérépian for 2 weeks Isla now thinks croissants and breakfast are synonymous! Both Aidan and Isla quite accro à their visits to the boulangerie every few mornings. The French accent here quite different - bit of a Spanish lilt to it, makes for understanding more of a challenge! Villagers delighted with Aidan and Isla's bonjour, au revoir, dis-donc, merci (Isla's a bit of mixture between merci and barci)...! I have ...
