weekend trip - part 2

THURSDAY: Le Havre - Étretat

We left the host family at around 1030am
To search for the bus to etretat
Luckily all the buses we required
For the rest of the trips
Were in front of the train station
We had time to take photos of their schedule
So that we wont missed any bus

Although it was public holiday
There were buses to etretat
After buying some stuff to munch
We boarded the bus
Really cheap ticket at euro2
To go another city! Not internal bus!
And 2hrs later we arrived at etretat!

Etretat is a small town near the sea
The only bad news - it was raining the whole day
And we were staying only for a day!
Being near sea + rain,
It was really cold
But we managed to walk around town,
Pebbles beach,
And climbed the famous cliff
No shopping for me
As stuff are touristy and expensive
A raincoat coat is euro60!
But husband was happy with food shopping










Strange that everywhere we went had a casino
A trend near sea? 
Hehe
And the next trend is
Everywhere is selling mussels&fries
Fish soup and crepe
I guess seaside cuisine?

Our hotel room was simple
With free breakfast in room
So we took advantage of it
Reminds me of our venice trip


We decided to splurge
And look for a good restaurant for dinner
Despite good online recommendations
And pricer than others
We were disappointed by the food
And reminded ourselves 
that price does not equal quality&taste

Being a small town with rain
Nothing much was open after dinner
We decided to rest 
And prepare for our next journey the next day

Oh the hotel had a thin blanket  
we thought will not be enough to keep us warm
But it was so warm
That we sweat as we slept with windows opened
We should ask hotel 
about where we can buy the blanket!
