... is that everything closes for lunch from 12 to 2. They are serious on their lunchtime here, and when its raining and there's not much sightseeing to do in the small towns, well, lets just say we were lucky to have enough wine to get us through it. We also tried a proper french dinner in the town of Beaune, a 4 course meal for 12 Euros. Caity got Rabbit and Tom got Veal, or so we thought. We still aren't sure ...

... us we all agreed on just a quick stop at a nearby Abbey that was on the way back to Paris. Driving through the French countryside was beautiful but since it was another foggy day it was scary at times on those winding roads. We never actually found the Abbey but we did come across a Chateau. We didn't get out of the car since Angela's mom was nervous about returning the car on time. The ride back to Paris was pretty bleak and boring due to the rainy weather and the one ...

... however those ticket bays looked angrier and more modern, and as I knew it would, wouldn't let me OUT of the metro so I had to wait until someone entered and while the doors were still open get out.<br> I had about five hours to spend in Paris but I wasn't feeling too well so I went and put my head down in the nearby park, yet it was too cold and windy so I spent the rest of the time in the train station. The bad thing about the French trains is that they won't announce ...

13th July 09<br><br>Neinburg Weser<br><br>After a delightful week with my cousin Marilys and her husband Gerd at their lovely home in niemburg being shown places we would never have found without them - the painted church at Marklohe where Gerd had been Pastor, the great stone at Staatsforst Krahe, the palace at Celle, the blueberry (hfarm and cafe at Brokeloh where we enjoyed the unlikely combination of a type of potato rosti/pancake with blueberry sauce ...

... Ric********firmed that he was happy that the new towel would manage his girth!!!!<br><br>Whilst returning to our luxury accomodation Kev and Richard somehow took another wrong turn and ended up in the land of the giants, accompanying pictures we feel will tell the story, however lets just say there was a napelion complex going on. <br><br>Returning to the room we woke Rip van winkle, showered and went of for a traditional French meal at the Taj Mahal.

... to say the least, but the next thing I knew... <br><br>...it was quarter-to-nine, Friday morning! We had blithely planned an early monring kick-off - but so much for bold plans! Still, by 10.15 we had hit a Carrefour supermarket for munchies, filled up with diesel (still seeming delightfully cheap!) and been amused by a regrettably named German coach in the supermarket car park. Soon we were heading south once more. <br>

... course, I had to buy something to take the taste away and decided on a vanilla macaron the size of a sandwich. By the time I finished it I felt ill, but at least I couldn't taste the cheese tart anymore. Did a round of the town exploring all of the sights including the Owl, but that took a grand total of 3 hours, so we had plenty of time later to sit and have an aperitif. Went to a burgundinian restaurant for dinner. For the entree we ...

... les gens de la Ungdomshouset ont entre autre réussi à dégôter un nouveau contrat avec la Mairie après que les flics aient écris un rapport pour dire qu'il leur était impossible d'assurer la sécurité du public dans les condtions actuelles (il y a des actions et de la casse chaque semaine depuis mars dernier...), et les méthodes utilisées par la police pendant la répression des émeutes ont été déclarées illégales (les poursuites tombent donc pour la ...

... I'm not trying to talk you out of it, I'm just voicing my opinion. The price for my round trip bus tickets with Eurolines from Paris to Brussels were about 33 euros, so something to consider. I enjoy traveling with Eurolines, and I travled with them 12 times in and out of 3 different countries during my study abroad year in Europe and I have nothing to complain about them; they're reliable, cheap and well known and they travel to a lot of destinations within Europe; for ...

... be expected but was inevitably tiring. Our flights were pretty much on time, and we made it from Charles de Gaulle airport to the train station without any major mishaps. Finally we took the train from Paris to Dijon and arrived at our dorm at about 7:30pm. Quelle journée!! But walking down to the local bakery this morning and having a yummy pain au chocolat took the tiredness right away! My dorm and the campus is nicer than past students described. My room ...
