Relaxing days in Rennes

I just chilled out the next few days in Rennes. It's been really nice too to not have too much to do and around as it was that time of the month for me too. On Sunday, I got up about 9ish and just chilled in the morning to research what's available to do. Lots … Continue reading Relaxing days in Rennes →

The 10-hour epic BBQ

It was at a small town not far from Rennes and F & S's place.

First night in Rennes

Flixbus decided to send a text 10 mins prior to arrival time to provide an update that it would be 50-60 mins late. -___- good grief! That's rather ridiculous! Good thing my ticket was stupid cheap, like 11€! Many people were also waiting for the bus. I sat next to a nice lady at the … Continue reading First night in Rennes →

Fooding in Rouen

Didn't get up to much to be honest. I'm here for <48 hours so packed in seeing stuff. I know, I know... who am I if I'm not eating!?!? Still gotta live on the budget though so it's about quality, not quantity 🙂 Plus I really need to watch the cholesterol with all the cheese! … Continue reading Fooding in Rouen →

Busy 27 hours in Rouen

I woke up early and after a simple breakfast of a big rocket salad with cucumber, tomato, avocado and smoked trout, I set out just about 9am to check out where my bus stop was for taking the Flixbus to Rennes. Google maps detected my Flixbus ticket but picked some random spot to indicate as … Continue reading Busy 27 hours in Rouen →

First day in Rouen

Got an early start to the day to catch my 10:11 train. I had my usual scrambled eggs with protein and breakfast salad, packed...even washed my hair! Part way walking to the station, I got a text that the train will be 20 mins late. All good I think; I had 1 hour for a … Continue reading First day in Rouen →

Fooding in Lille… it’s been ok :/

Food has been alright. Could be that I didn't pick properly but it's still been a good experience. I came across an asian grocer and got food to make Vietnamese bun and rice paper rolls! 😀 I miss Asian food that is inexpensive, authentic and accessible. For a lunch, I just had a casual vegetarian … Continue reading Fooding in Lille… it’s been ok →

In Lille: one of my fav cities so far

Got into Lille on Sunday and it was warm and sunny! My airbnb host Gwenaelle was so friendly, responsive and very proactive to ensure I enjoyed my stay. It was in the attic where I stayed in her family home and it was lovely. Very warm haha but lovely furniture and private. Cool windy stairs … Continue reading In Lille: one of my fav cities so far →

Back to Paris for a friend’s bday

Got back into Paris on the 14th and it was a smooth ride. I was pretty much over lugging my suitcase though. Super heavy, cobblestone streets and not even actually using 1/2 of what I brought was frustrating! My friend S and M will chuckle when I tell them they were 100% correct that I … Continue reading Back to Paris for a friend’s bday →
