... Lemptegy, which has been quarried for the lava which is used for all sorts of things, including making cat litter! We went on a tour of the crater in a small train with a manic young guide gabbling volubly in French. At the end of the tour there was a very entertaining theme-park type experience called The Exploding Mine, which was not ...

... opportunity to make our lunch which usually consisted of a baguette filled with pate, cheese and or meat. We would stop along the way some where for lunch in a park or a Chateau. The cruising along the canals was incredible especially going through the locks. One part took us over one of the longest viaduct in Europe at a place called Briare where we stayed for the night. The first couple of days was heavy going but my knees and legs settled down that ...

... saw at least one English yacht cruising peacefully down the canal. Someone once told me it is possible to travel from the UK to the Mediterranean through the canals of France, even in a yacht. An excellent way to see France - but don't do it in a Bongo sized boat. We first stopped in Charite-sur-Loire, for some bread, but all the other shops were shut. This seemed to be the pattern in every town we passed. At first we ...

... Sarkozy), health concerns and a host of other things. It was very enjoyable and lasted through the middle of the afternoon. Taking my leave, I drove off to find a hotel for the night, and worked for a few hours while waiting for my second visit in Vichy. Hervé Dubois came by the hotel at 7:00 pm and we drove to a restaurant a ways down the road. It's a western themed restaurant called Buffalo Grill. The greeter was dressed in a long Doc Holliday ...

On Le Weekend we met a group of the French kids and clearly they fell in love with us. So shortly after that weekend they wanted to party with us again as soon as they could. And did we ever. Quentin had a number of us over to get to know us a little better. A couple 40s later we were much better acquainted. It was the start of a beautiful friendship.

... house or at La Goulais, which was our home for the beginning of the year. Friday night we went to the discotheque, The Loft in Vichy. It was a pretty fun night. Their drinks are so weird here...when you order say a vodka seven, or a rum and coke, you pay for the shot, and then the mix. It can get pretty expensive. It's time like this I really wish I drank beer, but I just can't do it. Its about a 45 minutes train ride away to get to Clermont. Thais, a girl from Brazil ...

... Very cute, very clean. That night I met up with some people from my class, very randomly and we went to the Horse Races at the Hippdrome. It was pretty neat, and everyone was pretty cool. They had a heard of begals come out too, with guys on horses dressed in traditional English hunting outfits too. It really made me miss Kosmo. That night we headed to Le Gloulais. That's our pub. They love us there.

... festival passes and other stuff like food vouchers and cash for the train (75 Euros-nice). Met Calmin. So nice to see him again. Then we went to eat at Universe with Jon. Nice to have a warm cooked meal again. Em really liked the food coupons- 6.50 Euros each and we have 32 for the week. That's a total value of 208 Euros/S$415 that we can save on eating. Hurray. Then we took the free shuttle back to the Hotel. Slept like a log till 3am for me and I am writing this. What a long 2 days.

Mida lähemale linnale, seda vichysemaks ja vesiseks ka ilm kiskus. Seetõttu polnud me seal väga entusiastlikud turistid ja käisime vaid tiiru linnas ning maitsesime kraanidest vett. Tegemist oli sooja ja väga ebameeldiva maitselise veega. Seega 0,3 € topsi ostmine vee degusteerimiseks oli üsna mõttetu. Vichy külastamist jääb meile meenutama karp pastille.
