Je ne remercierais jamais assez la charmante Hotesse d’accueil qui nous aide a traverser la France en Train alors que EasyJet nous avait miserablement fait faux bond.

Dublin recently faced an attack from the sky … absolutely wrong!

But before your come to that bad feeling lets appreciate some handy tips:
- Traffic Update from AA road watch: this web page is perfectly designed to prepare your road trip.
- Dublin bus : when not too busy the server hosts the “Disruptions to bus services”
- If you’d like to have a walk, here is a perfect like : How to walk on ice

Voici un court apercu de Berlin.

Je reste tres content de ce court sejour allemand malgres le froid.

Entre les vastes places vides et les allees interminables se trouvent des batiments d’une architecture tres influencees par les differentes epoques que Berlin a connu.

Pour finir, Chloe nous a emmene dans un aquarium (Sealife) se terminant par un impressionnant cylindre de 25 metres de haut dans lequel un ascenseur nous fait voyager au milieu d’un recif: visite conseillee.

Petite balade a Locronan en juillet 2009, malgres un temps plus qu’incertain le soleil nous a permis d’apprecier les charmes de ce bourg

Locronan has been credited with being one of the most beautiful villages in France by an independent association aiming to promote tourism into rural France [from Wikipedia]

Hope you will enjoy these pictures.
