France 2013.

I'm in megabus coach from London to Sheffield.This trip will take 4 hours. You always have to busy yourself. I find out there's wifi in the bus and I go on the internet. I can't believe I'm in England again. I can't use internet for a very long time because my computer is too old. I just have time to talk to some people and suddenly: black screen, no more battery.There is one last thing to do : I close my eyes and sleep...

I was anxious & so excited about going to France that my heart almost went out of my body. I had booked everything in advance, bus, shuttle, car sharing... I really realised how fantastic car sharing is as I went to Laval, Angers, Rennes, and back to Dinard for really cheap.

I was so happy to see that friend I hadn't seen for months it didn't seem real. I visited Laval, a lovely city but very quiet. The river crossing it is splendid. I visited the castle and the cathedral.I ate a lot of fat French food, I talked French in the street although I always need some time to adapt myself, and switch languages. I still look at the wrong side of the road.

Angers, is more lively. There is a nice city center, & a square with a theatre which looks like a town hall & many shops. Note to self : I should go shopping there one day. I also visited the castle there & the cathedral.

I then went to Rennes, it is a big city, smaller than Sheffield, but big in its own way. I wish I had taken more pictures. I went through a park with flowers and felt spring coming.I walked through those very old narrow streets, and felt like I was hundred years back. In those times were castle were built, where enemies were killed with arrows or rocks, where horses galloped through these streets...

... I slowly open my eyes. I'm in the bus to Sheffield. I can see Sheffield's huge shopping center. I'm arriving home. All of my dream is gone. I get off the bus and the cold hits me like crazy. That's when I know ,I'm back to reality.
