... booths have been helpful (when they&#8217;re open), but they usually are not. We&#8217;ve also been cycling almost through the various regions about 1 a day. So if I do stop for information it&#8217;s only for the one day and will not help us in planning the next as we&#8217;ll be out of the region&#8230;Had a little marital spat with Brian the other day about how routine our lives have become - LOL. <br>

Ok so I'm getting a bit behind in my blogs as I've arrived at my uni now and want to write about that. I am having a really good time and re-living being a fresher, which is kind of funny! I also have my laptop set up now - yay! So as a simple solution I'm going to tell you about the food I cooked by posting some photos of it ...

... and I would bring in the courses and then Id sit and eat too, David would join us occasionally or otherwise do the washing up. One definite benefit of doing a cooking school over noemal cooking is someone else does the washing up!<br><br>During the break in the middle of the day I'd read outside in the shade (such beautiful weathr whilst I was there), go for walks in the french countryside and pick some blackberries or get a lift into La Rochelle or Surgeres to ...

Bonjour from sunny La Rochelle!<br><br>Well not so sunny today actually, hence the decision to finally find an internet cafe and update the blog...<br><br>It`s now a week since we set off, and so far it's going great. The van has done really well, and hasnt given us a single problem as yet (touch wood). So here's a quick summary of what we've been up to...<br><br>Day 1: Glasgow to Ashford, Middlesex.<br>Set off in good time and made it down to Steve's quicker ...

... taking a breather, we headed onto Rochefort where there were three options in close proximity.<br>After a quaint drive through tight city streets of Rochefort in a 2.55 metre wide bus, we arrived at the god awful Camping Municipal. No thanks! I looked at the description of the Aire we were after and it mentioned spaces behind the Captinerie.<br><br>I looked up the marina on google maps and made a beeline for it and by 8pm we had found (made ...

... Though i comprehended very little (they were speaking so fast!), children's movies are great to see in other languages ;) To sum up the next two days of La Rochelle i'd say shopping and patissaries. The French cakes are AMAZING!!!! And thick hot chocolate some in a tea pot!! Whee!!!! Bought a French breakfast bowl... suddenly a cup just isn't enough... The beaches were really nice. At low tide we trailed the ancient walls along the stones... they were so white ...

... the uni with Bonnie (she had a class) and I met Bek in the biblioteque (library). At 2 pm she and I walked in to Centre Ville, where we did a little shopping. At the first shop we stopped at, Bek bought 2 pairs of shoes (not frivolously - she set out to buy them after having one pair break on the weekend), and I bought a headband for a whopping 1&euro;95 (reduced from 3&euro;90)! I love it ...

... those boats ? My house is between those boats. &lt;/Narnia reference&gt;. But seriously, we live in the MIDDLE of THAT marina. Incroyable, non ? After the first two towers, we all headed down to Earnest's. Earnest is our new friend, the ice cream shop =P I had a scoop of banana and a scoop of rhubarb ice cream. Yes, you heard me : rhubarb ice cream. For rizzles ! Amy, en revanche (on the ...

... us, hey? And I am totally loving this whole having-the-internet-at-my-fingertips thing. Fantastic! And i can almost drink this ice cream... mmmmmm.... Tomorrow will be a full-on day, no doubt, but a good one... P.S. France is 1 hour ahead of England, which was 9 hours behind Australia. So... does that make me 8 hours behind Australia now? Well.... it's 9:45pm here (and only just dark!)8:45pm in England, and 5.45am at home in Australia... Figure that out.
