Salut!
This morning I took the TGV train to arrive at this small town west of Paris in the Normandy region! This town is surrounded by the ocean thus it is also well known for its sandy beaches! I was actually looking forward to a relaxing day lying on the beach especially after spending the most hectic week in Paris running round the museums and climbing up sky high cathedrals. However, it turned out to be one of the coldest days and I was almost blown away by the strong wind at the seaside! The views were still amazing tho despite the thick clouds and I noticed that there are not a lot of foreign tourists here but most of the visitors are from other parts of France.
From my hostel to the main town (Old Town Square) it takes 40 minutes walk along the beach! It really was depressing walking by myself in the cold with no one to talk to. But I got over it when I arrived at the quaintest town that is filled with creperies (Brittany is well known for their crepes), souvenir shops and restaurants. There aren't a lot to do here except walking around and enjoying the atmosphere!
The hostel I am staying at is Auberge de Jeunesse It is dirt cheap here. At 16 euros a night, you get free breakfast as well! :)
Ok, really need to get going. Will finish the rest of the post tomorrow if I get back from Mont St. Michel early!
Au revoir!

It is lonely travelling alone isn't it? I have been in Kuala Lumpur for 6 weeks now, and the only people I see in the hospital are doctors.. I guess I can laugh and chat with them, but they have no time for a social life so therefore my only options are hanging out with my host sisters who work and have their own life, and shopping. Since there isn't really that much to do in KL other than great shopping.
