Saturday and I decided i would go to the town of Arcachon, just a one hour train trip south of Bordeaux. This is a fishing town where some of the worlds best oysters are cultivated. Of course, on the lunch menu was oysters along with a nice glass of sav blanc. But before lunch, I did a walk up to the Parc Mauresque where you could see over the main part of the town and over to the bay. It was quite a steep walk up, and the view over the water was really nice viewing. I walked from there along the main shopping streets, and to a market where I found a nice little restaurant to have my lunch. After lunch, it was a walk to the water, although it did start raining, and forced ... read more

It is so strange that I’ve been here over a week now without really being able to contact anyone or tell anyone I care about what is going on with me. It’s also weird to start at the beginning. But I shall try. I arrived with Fabien (I’ve already told you guys that he was the complete opposite of what I had imagined) but he spent most of the car journey (in which I was thankfully not sick) telling me about why he started up the animation/entertainment company. This is apparently because he is part of a band, composes, plays the guitar, dances and sings. I can’t do any of those things – small tendrils of panic started to unwind in my belly. Upon arrival the first thing I saw was my soon-to-be teammates putting up ... read more

My employer was young by the way - slim, olive skinned but the ,essy car was spot on. Aerobics and aquagym start at 10am tomorrow - really quite nervous. Just had lunch with the team - we discussed stereotypes - anyone think of any particularly french stuff? I said snails, baguettes, strikes and odd opening hours for shops etc. Any more for any more? Off to register all the kiddies for the children's entertainment club now - wish me luck xxxxx... read more

A minha chegada a Bordeaux me lembrou, em muito, os meus desembarques no Rio após voltar das viagens de inverno: eu ali de manga comprida e todos no aeroporto de bermudas e chinelo. Tudo bem, afinal eram 15h de um típico dia de verão europeu, com sol e céu azul. O resultado: calor! A noite não foi diferente: o quarto do albergue parecia uma estufa, quente e abafado, mesmo com a janela aberta. Passei a noite toda com uma ideia apenas na cabeça: praia! Na manhã seguinte, quando vi o sol despontando em um céu sem nuvens, não tive dúvidas de qual seria o meu destino do dia: Arcachon. Talvez alguém esteja se perguntando: ok, mas por que Arcachon? O que há de tão especial lá? Afinal, praia por praia, há inúmeras na região, tanto de ... read more
