Viva la France!!!

After thirty gruelling hours on four different flights, nous sommes arrives en Aix -more formally known as Aix-en-Provence.
Below are a few first snaps of the city. It's old, with small laneways and rundown apartments, one of which will hopefully soon be ours.
Eventhough on our fourth day here, we remain homeless (don't worry, by homeless, i mean in a hotel) we are well fed. The French have created a system whereby even the most modest of travellers can eat well. We eat croissant for brekky, baguettes for lunch and wine with dinner. Hardly worth complaining about.

To top off the good food, there is good weather. The temp varies daily but it's always hot in the morning, and then there's a five o'clock breeze, much like the freemantle dr, which is welcome.


There is also awesome shopping!! From Hermes to Monoprix (which reminds me of Target), shops line the alleys and have proven difficult to re-visit as there is a serious lack of street signage!!! Luckily, they're on soldes (Guess what that means?!) which means you don't have to think about a purchase over un café.

We haven't had much time to explore outside the city, but we'll do that after we find an appartment and things settle down a bit more.

So wish us luck!!!

We hope you are all going well, and uni or work etc is not too stressful. And if it is, why not take a holiday here with us!!!
