Bonjour tout le mond! I'm now on Belle-Ile! Exciting, I know. We arrived yesterday after taking two trains, walking a fair way, and a boat. I also kept singing, "Je suis en bateau!" but no one really got it....
So, the island really is quite beautiful. Clear water for as far as you can see, lovely night life, and fantastic weather. It actually got a little cold last night. I meant to bring a hoodie, but alas, I'll just have to get a souvenir! Also, google's spell check does not like 'hoodie'. It doesn't really get dark here until about 9:30 or 10 p.m. due to our northern position. My house is pretty nice and it's easy to find. It's bright yellow on the outside, and bright yellow on the inside! My room is teal and orange. Our bathroom is bright pink. I believe the name that the festival kids have given it is the "seahorse a go-go house" because along with the flamboyant colors, there are seahorses everywhere...
I haven't found a bike yet. I am really thinking I won't be able to get an actual road bike on the island because everything is really touristy and thus they only have the cruiser bikes. It seems that there may be some mountain bikes, so maybe I can get one of those and then just do some tough trails around the island and try to ride fast but fail.
So, not too much going on as of yet. I woke up sort of early this morning and since no one else was up I walked down to the area where we arrived yesterday, had some breakfast, then did a bit of shopping. It's pretty nice out. Hopefully I'll have more exciting posts soon, along with some pictures! Au revoir! Also, feel free to comment! I love all my followers, but I don't know if anyone is actually reading this stuff!
So it takes TWO trains, a FAIR amount of walking and a BOAT to get there? Do you think I am up to it??
