Two Cities, One Week

Rouen and Nantes, France

Well, that was the quickest unpack and pack ever!  Thank goodness too because there wasn’t much room to actually unpack anything.  We were basically living in a sardine can for two and a half days.  At least we were able to get a little light in to open up the room with the smallest window ever in Rouen. 



Nothing says “Welcome to France!” like getting to the hotel after a long travel day and opening up the hotel room door to literally find yourself one step in the room and already at the other side…


So, it’s no wonder we needed an escape.  It was time to put those running shoes back on.  We managed to stumble upon a few parks and a few lesser traveled paths above the city.  It was nice to be removed for a little while.   


But not too long because in the blink of an eye we were back on the bus again.  However, it was a short travel day with a much happier ending when it came to dismounting the bus in Nantes.  We had apartment-style rooms this week! 


So, not only did we basically have different beds or pull out couches to sleep on instead of twin size beds literally on top of each other, but we more or less even had our own rooms!  But, that wasn’t all, we had a separate toilet and shower and a kitchenette area!  Yay!  It was the first time that I was able to cook again this tour! 


Now we wished we were here longer, especially with the country roads not too far in the distance, but it was time to get a move on.  We will be home soon!  Only about two and half weeks left!

Off to Bordeaux we go!
