9th May...sambung dari entri lepas...lepas siap2 sume tuka duit dalam ferry (from GBP to EURO)..ok, tips : sile tuka siap2 duit GBP ke EURO dalam kapal or even mase di UK sbb u'll get more value.. Sampai di Calais, kami meneruskan perjalanan naik kete ke Paris. It was minimum 3 hour journey. but sumhoe since kitorg traveled with small kids, so kene la brenti2...plus, xleh nak laju2 pon bawak kete kat europe ni...nnti kene saman, merit kene potong, lesen plak kene tarik dahhh payah...

Abg long adelah driver yg tegar...all the way tour europe die le yg drive. Plus europe kan left hand driver x macam UK yg right hand driver.Along the way tu we stopped at several place like R&R. Along the way, pemandangan sgt cantek..we pass by several village, hills, meadows...ade satu pekan tu, near calais, mase tu kitorg dah uphill, nampak keseluruhan pekan dari atas...sangat cantik coz it is located kat tepi laut...cant forget the view, it is in my head but x smpat nak capture ngn camera.
Paris is located kire middle of France la...xde laut keliling..dats y kat paris byk sungai and canal saje...we'll get to the City of Paris nnti....
Tempat yg kitorg duduk nie name die Eurocamp - International Paris. Located near a place called Maison Laffatte (tatau la betul ke x aku eja). Pekan Maison Lafatte nie x besar mane la...cam ala2 Shah Alam je..banyak rumah2 kat citu..its outskirt of Paris City. Cant afford to live in the city. Plus, x sesuai la plak kan sbb ade budak2 kecik. Lagipun, sambil2 tu we can go back to nature..u can view from
here.

| Kawasan Eurocamp - International Paris |
Kawasan camp tu ade river, full of pine tree with basic facalities like ade bathroom, market, restaurant, laundry and etc. Cantik la kawasan die. Kat camp nie disediakan beberape jenis penginapan. U can choose to have either their mobile home (which got various type) or just sewa tapak untuk tent or caravan/RV kite sndiri..tapi kat sini tent die bukan kecik2..tent beso gabak dah macam umah dah...huhu.
Ours is a mobile home. Very suitable for family vacay..got 2 bedrooms. Boleh la muat untuk 8pax sbb boleh tido kat common area die pasal ade sofa bed. its quite amazing how they transfer this small kontena into a home. lengkap dgn bilik air, dapur bagai. Sile refer gamba2 dibawah..

the first day we were there nothing much to do. Just drive around the suburb and do some food supply shopping kat carefour. The price here is a lil bit expensive compared to UK. Eventho exchange rate duit die lagi rendah dari UK, tapi barang die lagi mahal dari UK. ie, if we spend about GBP50 of food supply di UK, we need to pay about EUR100 for the same. lgpun skarang EUR kan da naik..da dekat same mcm GBP dah.
Oleh kerana kelaparan, kitorg hit to McD, pakat2 makan Fillet o Fish..huhuhu...ha lagi 1, wats tricky to be in France is of course bahasenyee...susah nye nak communicate kat sini...time tu adik aku le jadi mangse (fyi, my lil bro is studying in France, Tolouse in exact, so, die berabuk cakap french..tapi die x dpt join trip kitorg pasal die exam..)..kejap2 tepon die...huhuh...ade 1 time tu, call die soh die cakap ngn org french tu..wahahaha...mmg susah...coz they dun talk in english...plus, klu kite beli barang kat sini of course kite berhati2 kan..xnak ade pig extract ke or watever..so, setiap kali beli barang, mesti tgk ingredient. prob is, kat france ingredient die sume tulis in french, mane ade translation english kot...lagi la pening kitorg nak bli barang..tips: dun take anything yg bertulis 'de porc' or 'jambon'..
 |
| note barang2 raw die...salmon EUR2 je byk tuh...huhuhuh..murah2..tapi ce tgk harge McD die..mahal kan? |
so, mlm tu just free and easy and rilex, masak2 sket untuk bekal esok then tido awal, sbb masing2 penat...
