DAMN
GOOD
NIGHTS
SLEEPAGE
Morale now rather high, we set off to explore Dunkerque. We got to the Dunkerque war memorial and it was very very very moving.
Then joe explained to us what actually happened in Dunkerque in WWI and WWII and it became even more real and even more moving.
Dunkerque was also much nicer than Calais, as in it wasnt so much of a dump, but we decided to leave for Lille. Which took the travelform of a surprisingly cheap train. One hour later we find ourselves in Lille
LILLE
Archetecture is amazing, everthing is very forboding and grand, you can FEEL the buildings looming over you. Morale picked up even more as this is what we had in mind. We found a cheap, survivable hotel and wandered Lille for most of the evening (despite aching) taking in the city and looking for Nom.
Hotel was a bit crap but it is only one night and tomorrow we push for Belguim.
About Me
- D'Artagnan the Rabbit
Hi! I'm D'Artagnan! I was born on Easter Sunday, which pissed me off slightly considering i'm a rabbit.
I was pressganged into being one of those cheerful, generous, simpering Easter Bunnies. As you can imagine, this got old quick, and unsurprisingly I became disillusioned with my "chosen" profession and I spiralled into the depths of depression. HOWEVER...
I had to devise a plan to escape the humdrum of my job.
So, I said! "NO! Stuff this! I'm gonna buy me some SPANGLY PANTS!" Which is precisly what I did. A Blue pair.
HOWEVER... The Easter Bunny Authorities (E.B.A) did not look too kindly upon this act of rebellion and began Disciplinary Preceedings.
I, too be frank, did not appreciate this persecution.
So, I said! "NO! Stuff this! I'm going on an adventure! Before the E.B.A ruin my life FOREVER!"
So without even informing the E.B.A I walked away on my first Adventure...
To Europe!
See you all soon!
Dont push yourselves too hard... when you are that tired & achey it'd do you good to rest up an ickle bit longer and just admire the locale. I know you are trying to get as far away as poss in as short a space of time, but hey guys.... it's an adventure not a torture regime yeh? luv ya loads x keep smiling x :o)
