There are 3 thursdays that are public holiday
Husband and I decided to go for a short trip
For 7-11 may.
However,maybe because is long weekend
The train and airtickets were really expensive
So we decided to just go the northeast of france
Normandy area - le havre, etretat and honfleur!
It didnt matter to me
That these places were near paris
About 2hours train rides away
And Parisians wont stay for more than 2days
I was happy to explore france
Especially on budget
Hehe
Wednesday :paris - le harve
We took an evening train
After husband ended his work
And I made sandwiches for dinner
To be munched on the train
The train was not crowded
And we arrived le harve around 9pm
As the day is long
Sun was still up
That I didnt felt it was late
But maybe because is close to sea
Where the seine merge with the sea
It was colder that paris
Thank god that husband printed the maps
We quickly located our host family
Is our fast time staying with a host
As we wanted to save money
Husband friend suggested for us to try
Airbnb, a website where people can put up
Their room for rental on nightly basis
And for le havre,
We only have a night to sleep,
Seems too expensive for hotel,
I managed to find this young couple
Renting their room at euro30/ night
So we decided to try!
I think we are very lucky to find this
The apartment was spacious
Well decorated, clean
And they even provided towels!
Just a little weird they had friends over
And we hid in our room
Haha
We settled down
And went for a walk
But nothing much to see
Except some pubs, small garden,
Small part of seine and a casino!
But we were prepared that
there was nothing much in le havre
So it was a terminal for us
To go etretat and honfleur
In the next few days
So we ended the night early
And look forward to our day to etretat!
