Chambre Avec Vue Saignon

... rapprochement between these two countries, and that they were at the base of Europe, but hearing so much about Europe and its identity, to then watch the French and Germans still centring it around themselves is a bit confusing, especially when Sarkozy’s government is launching a huge campaign about French national identity. Even with the anniversary of the Berlin Wall, and thinking about how far Europe has come since then, I still remain slightly sceptical ...

... rain finally stopped after nearly a week so we were able to enjoy some out of Scooby time!

Saturday 7 Nov
Forecasted for rain today but it held off until late afternoon which gave me time to replace the washer in the gear box and for Kim to go for a run, which she was hankering for as she had been getting a little cabin fever of late due to the rain and lack of exercise/time outside!

... English in the entire town. We found our hostel super late at night (and they don't make hostels in France like they did in Spain... no more free internet!). The next morning, we walked into town not really knowing what to see or do. But as we were looking for a quick Petit Dejuner (breakfast) we stumbled upon the Saturday market. We sat at a cafe on the square and had the most amazing breakfast 5 euro can buy if you ...

... it doesn't matter with the wide range of accents our country has anyway (scowne or scon? It's only scon once you've eaten it...). I'm finding Contemporary French History really interesting, especially as, for once, it's not about the French Revolution. The seminars should really help my written French too, but unfortunately us 'étrangers' stick out like a sore thumb when she calls out the register : Sharrlot Tooowinszend. And I know what you're thinking, a register ...

... we were nearly blown to Marseille. Tomorrow we are going on a lunchtime cruise on the Rhone with more food and wine and before that visiting the famous bridge and hopefully we will have time to go over to see the nearby fort in the afternoon.

Then we start the final run north - first a night at Beaujolais, then 2 nights at Strasbourg and one last night at Munich before we leave Big ...

Thursday 6 August

Left Lauterbrunnen early this morning in the quite chilly weather (and got to experience Dean sprint very fast back to the tent in the cold after forgetting his towel for the shower) for our drive back into France to Avignon. Somehow the temperature managed to go up about 100 degrees in between Switzerland and France and so everyone was sweaty and gross by the time we arrived at our very very dusty campsite, all dressed in Winter ...

... we were being creative together. Many times throughout his painting, people would surround him and comment on his talent. I shook my head in agreement and silently wondered if this would be his career when we returned... We took an early evening dip in the pool and showered for dinner. We were craving authentic food because in an effort to be budget-conscious, we realized since arriving, we had only eaten sandwiches, pizzas, slushies, and even Chinese food one night ...

... had deciphered most things but after Annette's previous experience we were all a bit dubious about ordering anything particularly the lamb. The waiter was great - he only spoke French til we ask for help, and then gave us the detail in English including "cevit" being explained with the opening line " you know bambi?". He was quite funny and not once did he ridicule our attempts at French. He got a good tip. When tripe and stomach ...
