I'm back from vacation! I went to Normandy (France) with my eldest brother.
If you wondered what i did and stuff, you can read it here. Also, i'll link to a picture or two that fits with the day.
Let's start with
Monday
On monday, it all began. At 4 in the morning we woke up and had some breakfast. We packed the car and we left at 5 AM. Because of our GPS system which isn't really good, we travelled for 11 hours before we reached our destination: Honfleur.
We stayed in a hotel there. We had a room with (french -_-) television, 2 beds and a bathroom. And every morning we had breakfast in the hotel.
After we brought our bags to our room we decided to eat somewhere, so we walked to the centre of the city.
Now, i don't really speak French and my brother's French is even worse than mine, so we just ordered ''deux plat du jour'' (two menus of the day) :P
When we were finished eating we explored the town and it surroundings. I have to say, it was beautiful!
For the rest we didn't really do much.

Tuesday
On Tuesday we went to a bunker that was left from the second world war. We had some trouble finding the bunker, but we managed to find it eventually.
It was pretty interesting to see how the soldiers lived in the bunker. It was actually a pretty weird thought that 70 years ago people actually lived there and were in a war.
The bunker itself looked like a tower from the outside, so you had a part that was below the surface and a part that was used as a watch tower. Ofcourse, we also climbed on top of the tower, but we quickly headed inside again because of the rain.
After that we drove back and walked through the city some more. We also climbed up a hill that was on the other side of the city and there we had a really nice view.

Wednesday
This day we didn't really do much. All we did was playing tennis and hang around in the hotel a bit :P
Oh, and we toured through the surrounding cities of Honfleur.

Thursday
On Thursday we went to a safari park. It was pretty cool and we made some cool pictures too.
First we had a tour through the park on a train. The only problem was that there was some kind of school trip so there were a LOT of kids screaming and talking.
After that tour, we walked through the park ourselves, but i had a nose bleed. A terrible one too.
I have nose bleeds quite often, but this time i was in the middle of a park with no tissues or anything, so we had to walk all the way back to the toilets. After that little incident we didn't really feel like walking all the way back again, so we left.
Here are some pictures that we made:
A rhino
A weird monkey
A bear
Friday
We didn't really do anything on Friday too, except for driving through Normandy.
It was the last day of the vacation and we were pretty tired plus we almost ran out of money :P
But here are some other pictures we made throughout the week
Saturday
We had breakfast at seven in the morning and we left at eight. The ride home was much shorter than the ride to the hotel; we drove for 7 or 8 hours. This is because we only stopped twice, had a faster route and didn't drove in the wrong direction :P
So, that was my vacation. Thanks for reading :D

sounds like you had a bit of fun. i really wish i could leave the US. i mean, the furthest i'm goin this summer is to North Carolina.
so you get nose bleeds too, yes? thank god i'm not the only one. i used to have 'em evry day, right smack during first period of hte day at school.
it must be a relief to get back home eh? i always feel that way after a trip.

Well, the US is much bigger than the country i live in. I mean, if i want to leave Holland the maximum that i have to drive is 4 to 5 hours.
And yeah, nosebleeds are very annoying. I think i'm going to the doctor soon which i should've done earlier, because i had it since i was 4 years old :P
