... means lunchtime and everyone emerges! Every town has it&#8217;s own clock tower which regularly doles out the hours (and ¼, ½, and ¾ hours) of the day. <br><br>Today we stopped in a beautiful little park outside the clock tower for lunch and were lucky enough to be there for the noon time treat. Not just 12 bells, there was about 10 minutes of different songs and other tunes being played out. We sat and ...

... I didn't photograph all the things I cooked, but in some cases I needed to remember how we put the meal together on the plate so I tooks some pics to make it easier to replicate these dishes in future. Nerdy I know, but you will thank me if you come round for dinner one night and the food looks really pretty!<br><br>xox Hannah

... guests not wishing to do the cookery school. Anway, David, who runs the cooking classes, picked me up from the train and as soon as we pulled in I knew it was going to be a lovely week! My accommodation was somewhat classier than the hostels Id been staying at (double bed, ensuite, crisp white linen, lost of cupboards and mirrors, just the way I liked it). <br><br>I started each day by sauntering down to the dining room where there was museli and beautiful stewed ...

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 ...

We wandered the streets for a while before finding a hands-down winner: Via Roma. Mmmmm-mmM! I totally ordered the fetticine, fruit de mer. Wow, and was it good! While we were waiting for our food, Amy and Josée ...

... and! It's my birthday soon. So.... Any way - enough of my nagging. The truth is, I have a few letters I have to post myself, only I am a bit daunted by the idea of a french post office. It'll all be in french! Perhaps next week, after I make my next wihdrawal (I make weekly withdrawals now to save on bank fees, but also ...

Anyway after that we walked around for a while and then found a shady park and decided to laze around for a bit, it is a pretty town, and a nice place to relax, and thats exactly what i am gonna do now. Tomorrow we are off to Paris!! sam!!

... continue this maritime theme, including the new University (built around 1992). The main entrance to the harbor was 'guarded' by two towers, the Tower of St. Nicholas and the Chain Tower, which used to have a chain spanning between them to keep unwanted ships from entering as well as to ensure the ships within paid their taxes. We walked all over the city, exploring the ...

... town and noticed a few places selling beer on the streets. So Brian had a beer, and another, and another. He started to act goofy. I had no idea what was happening! I encouraged him to drink more! Finally after 5 or 6 we went back to the hotel. We made Brian go to sleep. Around 2:30 he vomited all over the bed and then in the bathtub. Wow. I realized I helped to cause this mess. Another friend ...
