christmas
FRANCE | Tuesday, 30 December 2008 | Views [397]
so ive finished up uni for xmas and i packed my apartment up and my bags and headed down on the 6 hour train journey to my mums house in the haute vienne region, its more south than paris but its bloody cold , her house is like a ski lodge though its lovely and warm the sunsets out of her window are amazing. i unfortunatly am sleeping in the attic wich hasnt been converted yet , has no insulation on the room , yep you guessed it , it rained lastnight, i would have been warmer camping probably.
yesterday she drove me to this village just west of here 15 mins , its 500 years old and its a ghost village , all the houses have trees growing out of them roofs caved in and rosebushes growing out of the chimneys and windows , but the roads and paths were still clear , looks like it may have been a leper colony at one time , but we had this feeling , like something devistating had happened here , brrrr it gives me the heeby jeebees . im gonna get photos of that probably tomorrow or tuedsday before i head back upto paris.
my first travel journal entry , not greatly exiting , no ones reading it anyway haha.
