Vitre takes the prize for being the little town of nowhere of all time!  RB warned me that there’s nothing there but...!  It has a château that is nothing but stone walls.  The town has 2 churches and maybe 15 shops and 5 restaurants, and sleazy local who yells “are you ready to rock?” to tourists.  Anyway, on the positive side, the food is cheap and the public toilet is free.  After all these small towns, I’m ready to go back to the city!!!

It started as just a little thought that sounded like a good idea. "Take a trip to Europe by yourself" Then it became a reality, shown here is the reality!

i arrived on time into poitiers and was amazed at the french transport system-clean, on time nothing like at home. my dad, mam and oliver came to pick me up and we headed off to le carlet which is around a 40 mins drive.  it was nice to see 'presh' again after 5 weeks.  i had 5 weeks of torment to make up for :o) the time spent here was all about relaxing and taking it easy. we all had a day trip to the monkey park which was good.  me and my sister got cornered by some cheek...

I have been too fortunate to stay in Europe for almost a year. Mostly posted in France, I've enjoyed most of the sights of the Western Europe and I am certain that I'll come back to many of these places.

spent a week in the lovely atlantic-coast island of Il de Re, just off france.8 pals, two cars, 2 surf boards, 8 bikes and one french cottage where all involved in a week long stay that involved boules, biking, surfing and nice strolls along the beach before lovely meals in the garden or out at the delightful villages in the surrounding area.a great time had by all and recommended to anyone that fancys a quick jaunt to the continent. Be aware however that it can get pretty dry and barren in...

DAY 21 Friday 29th June Left St Denis at 8am to sail to Royan. Sailed the whole way for 8 hours on a broad reach ( with the wind coming from the side for ignoramuses like me). JC’s culinary tastes continue to amaze; breakfast was baked beans mixed with crisps and lunch was mashed up sardines mixed with cornflakes!! Question: If you have an entire ocean to aim at, how many goes will it take to throw a banana skin into the sea as opposed to hitting the boat? Writing this in Royan marina ...

Poitiers will be my next home until June 1st

Join me, Danny, on a 15-week adventure to see Western and Eastern Europe. (UK, Ireland, Benelux, France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia, and who knows what else!) I'm a euro-virgin™, so please be gentle.

Hi everyone. Sorry about the delay in updating our blog. Been away from the internet for a while. Will upload some photos in the next few days. Until then just chat. We started the day by vistiting Mont-St-Michel. It is fantastic. A huge abbey, church and town set out off teh coast of Brittany on a rock. It was great walking up all the stairs and looking around. Google it to see how magnificent it actually looks. Was fun for Cam to carry Ashley around all day as well. From here we hit t...
