Suitehotel Marseille Centre Euromed (Ouverture Le 1er Aout 2008)

... made some friends had we the time and resources to put together costumes... I decided we were dressed up as Canadians, which I thought would have worked great until Tom pointed out that Canadians would probably speak more French. But we weren't really left out, there were only a handful of people dressed up. Overall; here is the tally of costumes in Aix on halloween: 2 girls in witch hats (with one stocking each), 5 ...

... Argh! I tried to get him to go up into the town and explore, but I couldn&#8217;t drag him further than a few blocks - worry that we needed to be back in time&#8230;?!?!<br><br>Finally around 4, they opened the gate so we could drive in. Only to find the ticket office didn&#8217;t open until 6pm. While waiting, we talked with a lovely Frenchcouple who were completely unperturbed at our lack of language ...

... weekend has put me right back on track, though, and so hopefully uni work will follow suit. Also got a lovely postcard from Dad looking over Holnicote, great to hear that everyone at home is well, even though I think I sometimes forget that life still carries on there when I'm not around. <br><br>Bon soir to all, from a very happee Charlotteee<br>xx<br><br>P.S Managed to get to one of the markets in town this week, got a full bag of fruit and vegetables for about 5&#8364;!<br>

... yesterday, Saturday, and it is cooler but still nice. The trip here was spectacular with many olive groves and big mountains. Today we went on a tour to Les Beax - another medieval town with a castle - poor Graham and on his birthday too. Then we went winetasting and to the premier olive oil producers in France. The Mistrql was blowing on the tour and it was very cold but warmer back here in the camp. Tomorrow we explore Aix on foot then we go to Avignon.

... I don&#8217;t know if the DNA of pizza got transferred to the Arabs from Rome and then re-introduced to French via the Jews or what, but they&#8217;ve just about got it down, plentiful and cheap. The real meal deal is three full pies for &#8364;10, but the best buy for me is a quarter pie for about a single &#8364;, depending on toppings. One or two of those will pretty much fill you up, though I&#8217;ve resolved to ...

... 20 Euro"<br><br>Bir sonraki yer temiz bir yer, 50 Euro.<br><br>Nihayet orta karar bir yeri 25 Euroya buldum Dus yok, ama TV var (sadece 6 kanal) Bu TV olayi cok onemli galiba, adam israrla kumandayi gostererek TV hizmetini ovuyor. Ertesi gun gelmek uzere adamla anlastik (Nasil anlastik? Tarzanca tabi. Bu yolculuga cikmadan once Ingilizce pratigim biraz gelisir diye umitleniyordum, nerde, bir kelime Ingilizce konusmadigim gibi fevkalade ...

... streets are now one-way, cars park everywhere and the locals drive like maniacs. Because of all the one-way streets we had more trouble finding our way back to the car rental agency than we had the entire day. After a lot of stress we returned the car and walked back to the ship. The next day was at sea. Sea days are usually very relaxing days for us and I would generally not write ...

... that we got there, we walked around a deserted town looking for food. There were two coach buses full of students and no one had anything for lunch so we drove around and parked in this deserted town to look for food once we got there. It seemed like a resort/cottage place to me that had closed up for the season. I don't think the weather is usually as nice that time of year down there, but hey, whose counting. We had left at 5am from Vichy, and stopped for breakfast along ...

En 2004 j'ai eu la chance d'aller en Europe avec ma cousine et ma soeur. J'ai du faire un choix sur mes destinations parce que je n'avais que 3 semaines pour faire le plus de visite possible. J'ai donc choisi d'aller en France, en Italie et en Autriche. Je n'ai vraiment pas regretter mes choix. Je n'ai eu que du beau temps, plein de péripétie qui vont restées gravé dans ma mémoire et de beaux souvenirs.

... the streets that night. We stayed in some run-down peninsulare (Those random small hotels in the cities) in the Middle Eastern sect of the city. Yeah, I just wanted daylight to come...and thought to myself that perhaps this trip may not be as good as I had assumed. The next day was bright and sunny. We found another peninsulare one street down from the port, in a touristy area - needless to say, I felt much better. That day ...
