It's a long drive across France, apparantley around 12 hours from Hastings area including the ferry. Arrived at around 5.45 yesterday and am now writing this at 6.40am after a disturbed night's sleep because dad snores. Note to self: get Vashti Bunyan on your MP3 because Flight of the Conchords, Sophie Ellis Bexter and the Buffy musical soundtrack do NOT make for good sleeping tunes! Oh well, he drove me down so what the hell, he deserves a medal! Have only seen the outskirts of Lyon so far, first impressions...? Well, what are the outskirts of London like?!? Still going in to the centre to sort out my room (I get to move into my cheap CROUS accommodation today), sort out a bank account (went for mostly travellers cheques in the end after deliberating whether to bring a wad of cash or not), and find a supermarket, as my cupboards are (or at least will be when I see them) bare.
Well off for what the cheapy hotel describe as a 'balanced breakfast' and many cups of coffee, then into the 8eme arrondissement to find the residences!
Sorry about the snoring - Got back home at 2 AM - the motorway cleared at about 6:30 so I just carried on, and on, and on..........
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well for you in Lyon - Have Fun, and keep in touch. Kooking forward to more blogs and some pics.
