26.Juni Torsdag Vi vokna rimelig tidlig dagen derpå.. halvparten av folka hadde allerede stikki og resten lompa rundt, rydda litt og var fylle sjuke... så vi pakka sammen, takka for kvelden og dro mot nermeste strand for å ete frokost... det stemmer, den andre pizzan.. jeg fikk meg tilogmed en morra pils.. ikke værst det heller... vi hadde egentlig tenkt å dra litt sørover til et sted som het Crozon for å bade og kansje tilogmed surfe litt.. eller noe lignende... men bestemte oss rimelig fort for at det var uaktuelt... på dette tidspunktet følte vi oss ikke akkurat freshe, etter 3 netter i telt og bading i salt vann, så en god dusj ble fort første pri... Strebozz hadde allerede fiksa en soffa til oss i Rennes, som bare var et par timer unna, ... read more

Beaucoup de Aventures Salut! Ca va? It has been a while since I have posted, but this time I have so many new adventures to share. I have been very busy lately with trips, school, and life. I am going to tell you about everything that I have done to the smallest detail. So, after reading this blog and looking at the pictures I know that all of you will want to come and visit me. J'espere!!! Saint Malo As most of you know and for those of you who don't I visited the beach on Saturday. Seven of the foreign students and I packed our bags, bought a bus ticket, and headed to Saint Malo for the day. We did not know what kind of adventures or fun that was coming our way. History of ... read more

I have always wanted to travel to Brittany, after hearing lots about the region and meeting friendly Bretons in New Zealand. They seem to get around, the Bretons. Luckily our trip coincided with a friend from London - Nico’s trip to Brittany, so we decided to start off in Lorient, Nico’s home town. His mum was nice enough to let us camp in her garden, saving us some money staying at a campsite. Our trip there on the SNCF, first time in a ‘couchette’, was an overnight train from Lyon to Lorient, which must have circled the whole of France to get there. The couchettes are for sleeping, and nothing else, so no space to sit around or have a coffee and defiantly no hanky panky!! We were squashed into a tiny room of 6 small ... read more

So this is my first post in my newly established travel blog! I thought it would be a good idea since I'm doing and learning so many new things every day that this is a perfect way to document those things - and also to put up all the pictures that I take. Today in class we listened to French singers - Edith Piaf, Jaques Brel, Georges Bressons and then we had a little 2 hour wine tasting session. Classes start tomorrow at Rennes 2 - Villejean University. I have to wake up early in order to arrive there at 8am to see what my class schedule will be like. I've signed up for the mandatory courses and for my electives I chose 19th+20th Century history and introduction to cinema. Also, I'm considering teaching kids english...but ... read more

I got ahead of myself and was uploading pictures when I "published" the wrong blog entry so I guess you can view the nice pictures of France and wait until I enter the story later. That is why I should have gone to bed after I send the last blog...enjoy! Now that you have seen all of the pictures, I will add some information for those of you that want to read. Once I arrived in Paris, I walked to another terminal where I could catch the bullet train to Rennes, but had about two hours to wait, which was nice so I did not have to rush. The high speed train is same type that broke the land speed records a month or so ago. It was not the same train, but it was ... read more
