... platform until 15 minutes before and my train was very long, it took almost five minites to get to the last carriage. It was the secnd TGV train I have been on (the first was from Luxembourg to Paris. They are the fastest trains in the world. I have been told that the most recent trial had the train travelling faster than a plane (however the rails couldn't handle it).
From Paris to Dijon it only tok an hour and a half, the Ice trains in Germany would have taken at least ...

... Walking back to the van clutching our precious bottle - we're not used to paying £8.60 for a bottle of wine - we were stopped by a Begian couple who had pulled up in their camper. Being Belgian, their English was very good, and we described our tasting experience, mentioning that a single bottle of the second cheapest was a full 10eu!. Ten minutes or so later, they were on their way back to their van towing a trolley laden with three cases. Within the ...

... The Hotel Dieu had two wards, one for the poor with small beds made for two, and the other for the rich with larger beds and "skylights" in the draperies so they could admire the ceiling art. The Pauper's Ward had a large chapel so patients could pray and prepare for death. The patients in the rich man's ward were more likely to survive and therefore had no chapel to repent. Both ward were served by an ...

... of a young virginal Kev who had not experienced such nightly actitivies before.
The first at the helm was Rich who with expert double d-cluthing gently stroked the tutti

... from Troyes to Dijon and just beyond to Beaune seemed, as I'd feared it would, to go on forever. There was some dramatic weather with torrential rain just north of Dijon, which at least took the heat out of the day for a while - it had been very very hot in the depths of the afternoon... But at last we pulled into Beaune and soon spotted a 'Camping' sign; it was easy to track the site down. 'Cent Vignes' is municipally ...

... photo pour aller voir la ville un peu, même si à chaque fois que je pense à mes lunettes perdues, ça me fout en rogne. Je prends le bus, me rend au centre-ville de Dijon, m'attendant à une ville agréable certes, mais pas nécessairement jolie ; après tout, le Lillois que j'ai rencontré à Lyon ne m'a-t-il pas dit que Dijon n'était pas vraiment super, me conseillant plutôt Beaune, un peu plus au sud d'ici ? Eh bien, j'ai bien fait de m'écouter ...

Well. This is my first entry and I'm not really sure where to start. So as the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland says, "Start at the beginning and when you get to the end, Stop." So I'll try that. I'm in Dijon, France for the semester finishing my business degree. Dijon is the ...

... and a Coca-Light were in order. I can't wait for classes to start tomorrow. This weekend has moved a bit slow because we haven't had that much to do. I'm trying to conserve my money, since starting next weekend, I'll be doing a lot of traveling. The game plan is to go to Lyon, France's second-largest city. I've done a lot of reading and exercising in my free time, but without TV or internet access, I'm looking forward to having class to keep me occupied during the day.

... 90 Moving(hrs.mim): 7.00 Ave(Km/h): 12.5 Total Ascent(m): 1350 Max Altitude(m) 658 Max Speed(Km/h): 47 The weather forecast was not all that good; it gave me a second chance to work out how to ride in the rain without getting trapped in a hotel, only venturing out to wring excess water from my socks. Packed and made it into town by 11.30 to search for the elusive email / internet. In a town with a population of about 10 000, you would ...
