ive had a very bz week, busy visiting places that is hehe.... two weekends away i went to Chateau Chambord with pierre's parents. It was a nice sunday and the weather was not too hot and not too cold; although it rained at the end of our visit. and it was my first time to visit a chateau.
And last monday i left to Paris AGAIN for a week, but this time my week was much more "tourist"-ish. last weekend i went to Normandie with pierre's uncle. Spent the weekend there, visited the beach in the town of Etretar, which was TOTALLY GORGEOUS!!! the view resembles postcard, seriously...
we managed to walk up the cliff up there and i definitely enjoyed the view from up there, which was breath-taking..... the beach was really different from the tropical beach that we haf back home. It looks sunny and hot in the photo yea....well it WASN'T!! it was windy and cold... sigh.. and still Peggy (pierre's uncle's gf) said " ah, il fait beau aujourd'hui! c'est cool!"
by the way......the first day we arrived in normandie, on friday that was, we were welcomed by a delicious dish made of rice and courgette and cheese, baked in the oven, i dunno hows it called in french, that Peggy made before we arrived. She looked so pleased to be able to fill in our empty stomach in a cold friday nite, being a tourist and all. And guess wat happened???? before putting the dish on the plate, the pyrex slipped out of her hand and it fell on the floor with a big explosion....AAAARRGGGHHH!!!!!! It was really funny, sorry, but it was, we were juz staring at it for few seconds and laffed and laffed and took pictures..... haha!! Aww, poor peggy, she was so frustated the whole nite hehe.... Oh well, so we decided to order sum pizzas then and had a 'special' welcome-dinner. Not so bad hein!?
The second day, they took us to this cute little petite village not far from Cany Barville (where chez peggy is, sounds like cannibal ville yea, hehe specially with the french pronounciation). I saw some of tipical traditional house of normandie, i felt like i was in a fairy tale book, really adorable. While pierre is bz holding on Hollywood (the dog), i was bz enjoying the view.After the small town, we headed to another seaside. This time it was more freezing than the last beach. and i was so amazed by the fact that there are people lying down on the beach (which has no sand, small rocks instead, mind you! ) chest naked, half naked in bikini or juz simply bathing in the water!!! and i was chilled to the bone...!! no, Not that chilled....but still! ils sont fou!
On monday early morning, we went back to Paris as some people have to work in few hours, well NOT me of course. So i stayed home and ironed pierre's clothes. No, its ok darling, really, I did it with love and compasion...
And on tuesday, as promised, he took me to Chateau de Versailles, the biggest one in France apparently. So we woke up early, had bfast, made sandwiches, cuz we didnt wanna spend a bomb juz to eat sandwich in versailles, took the train for about one hour and voila!! there were like.....i-dunno-how-many tourists were q-ing outside the entrance, c'était dingue!!! so we decided to juz stroll around the garden which turned up to be NOT juz a stroll, cuz the gardin was freaking HUGE.... ( yea sitheng, i can see why ur bf was complaining when the weather was hot!!).
We rented 2 bicycles and rode, rode, rode for an hour a coté de bois (rite spelling?) and it was really nice. I guess we juz haf to come back again one day to go inside the chateau.
Came back to Tours on wednesday morning, said goodbye to my darling, which made me oh so saaaaad.... but no choice as i haf to go to Toulouse tonite, midnite probably, and take care some things down there. Well, not bad, cuz i always love road trip starting in the wee hours. Used to do it a lot with my family last time during Raya.
Would like to upload some pic, but its not wroking this time, dunno why.....
