Elena's travel adventures: i've finally found 'my' cafe!

http://trav-el-ena.blogspot.com/2008/09/ive-finally-found-my-cafe.html

Thursday, September 18, 2008. I've finally found 'my' cafe! Yesterday, quite a sunny day, I went for a bike ride with Mel and Teo (Spanish guy) to a lake about 40mins from here. Very pleasant! My poor host got home at 8.40pm last night, after having left the house at 7.30am! She is a very busy lady lol. I went to Melanie's for a drink and walk around town as she is leaving today for Spain, going to a wedding and will be back on Monday. Very funny moments last night as he was trying to teach Mel the 'esse...

Elena's travel adventures: Lovely Sunday

http://trav-el-ena.blogspot.com/2008/09/lovely-sunday.html

Monday, September 29, 2008. Almost-perfect weather blessed Chambery again on Sunday. After a couple of hours of exploring, Mel and I went to sit at the park to enjoy the sun and de-stress due to the number of people around. There was this hint of idea about us doing some study for Monday's test, but we survived chatting instead. It was really relaxing after two high speed days to just sit and enjoy the sun. Who knows. Its a bit late now anyway. You've crammed a lot into these last few weeks. Tired? Just ...

Elena's travel adventures: Saturday - Lyon

http://trav-el-ena.blogspot.com/2008/09/saturday-lyon.html

Monday, September 29, 2008. I was excited for this trip to Lyon but had no idea how much I´d enjoy it! I completely fell in love with the city from the minute I stepped off the metro. I'm not an over-excited sort of person but the views took my breath away and I couldn't help but whisper 'wow'. For the next few hours, I kept walking around the city, admiring the architecture of something as simple as a post office. The Parliament building, overlooking the river, was being restaured but still looked a...

Elena's travel adventures: Autumn has almost come!

http://trav-el-ena.blogspot.com/2008/10/autumn-has-almost-come.html

Thursday, October 2, 2008. Autumn has almost come! I'm afraid I'm going to get corrected by Carolyn for the spelling of this specific season but I honestly can't remember if it's written like that in English? So please refer to the picture on the side (I've uploaded a few! Tell me if it's not beautiful! In the last few days I've taken a lot of photos of pretty places in Chamber, just for souvenirs. I'm going now, have a date on the phone with a special Australian friend ;). Ci vediamo all'aereoporto no?

Elena's travel adventures: Last days in Chambery..

http://trav-el-ena.blogspot.com/2008/10/last-days-in-chambery.html

Monday, October 6, 2008. Last days in Chambery. Apologies for the lack of posts for a few days, been busy packing and unpacking! Thursday night was lovely. At dinner Madame Andre enjoyed meeting Melanie, they both liked each other and the pizzas were consumed pleasantly. Mme A insisted on paying for us both, very sweet of her. She then dropped us off at Mel's apartment, where we made some lovely pina coladas before going out dancing. A while later an Italian man joined my table, we started chatting (he'd...

Elena's travel adventures: random bits (2)

http://trav-el-ena.blogspot.com/2008/10/random-bits-2.html

Wednesday, October 8, 2008. Wow it's Wednesday night already! Hmm the past few days have been a bit of a blur, so I'll be mentioning things in no specific order. Ok on Monday night I had dinner with Giulia and her family, at their house. It was nice, I had a little present for her and we got to catch up one last time before I leave. She too was drowned in study and homework. I got my hair trimmed and streaked today. It was a bit pricier than I expected but I like the final result :). Mirella has given my...

Elena's travel adventures: Cultural Sunday!

http://trav-el-ena.blogspot.com/2008/09/cultural-sunday.html

Monday, September 22, 2008. What a big day! Because it was National Day of Treasures, Chambery like most cities had organised numerous expositions, tours and free visits to cultural places. I had so much to see that I was happy to take my bike out and go on my own, moving on following my very organised schedule ;). After the castle I popped into the Museum of Beaux Arts, in the city centre, as there was an exposition by the painter Arcabar (I think? Whose style was quite simple and like Picasso's. It was...

Tuesday, September 16, 2008. Mi sono appena ricordata che i miei mi hanno lasciato una carta per chiamare in europa dalla francia, quindi vi chiamero' io la prosima volta! Non esitate a spedirmi un sms se volete chiacchierare che ho diversi minuti da usufruire :). Com'e' andato il rientro alla scuola Tommy? E il campo d'inglese alla fine e' stato carino? Quando torno facciamo una chiacchierata anche con il papa' in inglese eh. Secondo voi e' meglio la cioccolata dolce o amara? Subscribe to: Post Comments...

Wednesday, October 1, 2008. I do have a lovely boss! La Vie En Rose definately lived up to its reputation! Although over two hours long, it was a very intense and emotional film, with impressive singing and a few heart-tearing moments. . I give it. 4.5 stars! Doing my last loads of washing this morning, organising my return to Italy, I think I'll go for the online check in. not much really. Going, going, gone. October 1, 2008 at 1:41 PM. Umm yep that is the plan :s. October 1, 2008 at 4:04 PM. Don't forg...
