A very tired me (sporting a swiss-made watch) has just returned to my Grenoble home. It's weird to think that this is my home base now and that I'm coming back from all the excitement of my break to my new French life. It's so sad that the trip is over. We had such a good time last night partying literally right beside the Moulin Rouge until the wee early hours of the morning. After four hours of sleep, I said goodbye to everyone. So sad to leave "Team Gusto" ...

So today is the last day of the tour. The tour group has left to return to England and I'm waiting for my train back to Grenoble. Paris has been incredible! We arrived on Friday night and went to see the Eiffel Tower all lit up and afterwards I joined some of the tour goers for a night out in the Latin quarter.

They look delicious! After that we had a leisurely patio lunch at ...

My weekend in in Annecy made me think about my time here in Grenoble. In Annecy, we were on...

Day 3 : Sunday On Sunday morning, we had to wake up early for 10:00 am checkout. Luckily, the hostel let us keep our luggage behind the counter and we were able to fit in some more exploring. Annecy has an open market on Sunday morning in the vieille ville, so we went to check it out. There was a lot of clothes and hats and scarves. And another section that was all fresh produce, meat and cheese. I picked up some vin chaud as the morning was rather cold. I ne...
