Oh yes another bus ride, but this one is only 4.5 hours. Not much scenery to be seen as the fog is so thick, but it does clear about an hour from Paris. After taking the metro i arrive at my accommodation. Its pretty small, but i suppose by Paris standards its normal. Paris is such a big city, pretty dirty in parts, and so crowded and noisy. Took a train ride to Versailles to visit the Palace. Very impressive. It was rather crowded for a weekday, so i would hate...

Another travel day from Bordeaux to Rennes. Rennes is heading west and close to the west coast. The reason for going to Rennes is it is about an hour away from the famous Mont Saint Michel, and has a dedicated direct bus. It was such a nice sunny day and the lovely green countryside made the time pass quickly. I arrive into Rennes about 5.30pm and head to my accommodation. Its a hour bus ride to get to Mont St Michel. Once there its a 2k walk on the board walk...

Another long bus ride, but the lovely green scenery made the time pass quickly. The bus company i used this time is punctual, and arrives on time. The first day out starts out as a lovely day, so plenty of walking to be done. Bordeaux is so different to Lyon. The buildings seem to be a lot older. I am impressed at what i see, and the more i explore the more impressed i am. It is a very low rise city due to the weakness of the subsoil. The river walk is very pleas...

Today was a travel day, and according to the bus schedule it was going to be an easy day. Leave Marseille at 11.50am, arrive in Lyon at 4pm. I can then check in to my accommodation at 5pm. Did not work out like that. The bus arrived 1 hour late, then along the route the us stopped to empty the toilet, and another hour lost. So as we were getting close to Lyon i sent an sms to Amelie letting her know i was running late. Well she had to leave Lyon at 5.30pm, so she...

Well i say goodbye to my wonderful hosts and head to the train station. The day goes as planned and i arrive into Marseille at 6pm. My host is waiting to show me the apartment. The first day is spent close to the city as an impending storm is not for off the coast. The thunder and lightening is awesome, and then the rain buckets down. Least i managed to find shelter before the rain. Today i visit the Calanques National park. Very beautiful with some stunning vi...
