We have left the place we stayed in for two weeks and are in Carcassonne for one night. Then we move further south and stay in a gite (pronounced jeet) for a few nights. We stayed at a place in Bordeux last night, which was really quite cramped, but it was fine for the night. We have stayed in the hotel we are in now before, when we were in Carcassonne a few weeks ago. It's called 'Hotel Balladins'. It's really quite a nice place. Free Internet, not massive rooms (but big enough to not feel cramped) and en-suite (I feel like I'm doing a review here :P). The boulangerie - patisserie is literally across the road, so there's fresh bread there. And a short drive to the Carcassonne Medieval City! Here are some pictures from when we went there last time:
I also drew a picture of the two dogs from where we were staying a couple of days ago. I left it for them so they could keep it.
I made it big because it was a bit hard to see when it was small. It's also not a great picture as we don't have a scanner when we are on holiday! ;)
We are now in Liverpool, England. The journey was a total of about 13 hours. The first flight was 6 hours, the second about 7. It was ok. It was a good break in-between flights so that made a big difference.
As we got into our flat type thing, a seagull landed on our window sill. But it was no normal seagull, it was MASSIVE!!! Well, normal for England, but I swear that no where else has such big seagulls. Kinda scary, actually.
With scary eyes...
Ok maybe not so scary...;)
As I went to use the computer, I plugged in the mouse. It didn't work. So I beat it up. Then it worked. :P Just thought you might find that funny, because I did. Maybe it got scared.
Ok enough of the scary post...
Bet you have nightmares tonight...
Since I haven't seen any cats yet (I'm sorry for the disappointment everyone... :P) I thought I would draw a picture of one to make up for it. I'm sure I'll see some soon, but to make up for the lack of photos so far, here it is:
A bit rough, but I guess it'll do.
Now we are officially on our trip. First stop, Kuala Lumpur.
Sorry. That was so random :P
I'm not really jet lagged this time because of the time difference. Kuala Lumpur is only two hours behind my home time. So if it's 7:00am here, it's 9:00am there. It's pretty good!
So here's a recount of our trip. So far.
First of all, we woke up at 2:30am, drove 2 1/2 hours to the airport, checked in, waited about three hours, then got on the plane. It was actually a really good flight. Well, if you want the TV, then maybe not so good, but I found something else to do...
I drew a picture of a dog from a magazine about half way through the flight and it ended up alright! I mean, for being on a plane and all...
It does look a bit grumpy, doesn't it...
Anyway! We are staying in a hotel which has an awesome view of the twin towers. I didn't have my camera with me at the time we were at the best spot, though, so I'm going to have to take a few tomorrow. I got a few of the view from our hotel window, though. Sadly, it doesn't look over the twin towers. But it's still pretty cool!
