Stories from my adventures around the world
Since I’m going through clothes rather rapidly in the humid heat and there are laundry machines with free detergent at the hotel, we decided to do a round of laundry this morning. We got down to the second floor, started the machines, and then went out to the Paris Baguette …
Even though we were gonna have an early morning, I woke up even earlier because of the heat. My AC unit turns off when it reaches its set goal (18 C, the lowest possible). However, according to my thermometer, it’s 26 degrees in my room. So I spent my time …
Today we walked in the opposite direction than yesterday to find some breakfast. We discovered that we have a Paris Baguette Cafe just around the corner. After a couple of sandwiches and some juice, we stepped into the subway, heading for one of the palaces. Since our finish friend from …
It was a long time since I slept this well. As you say hunger is the best spice, I guess exhaustion is the best sleeping pill 🙂 I woke up to the sound of rain hitting the windows and when I looked out it seemed to pour down. I should …

We met up at nine for breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Not the best one but it was sufficient for our needs. Our reserved time slot for entry to the Caen Memorial Museum was at 10. When we checked in at the reception they recommended us to take one of …
Me and Daniel are sharing a room while Peter and Dad have the room next door. The latter got up for a run in the morning (crazy people) while I and Daniel took a sleep-in. We met in the lobby at 10 to get into the city center to find …
