Adieu France!

July 26th... Today, I bid adieu to France and sprouted my way to Brussels (don't waffle too much over these puns!)!

From Cherbourg (where I was staying), I took the train to Bayeaux and had the opportunity to pay my respects at the British Cemetery and visit one last D-Day museum! The day before was amazing and I contemplated spending another night in Normandy! However, I KNOW I will be back (within a year or two!).

Now, the rest of the trip! I had to go BACK to Paris to take a Eurolines bus to Brussels! The bus ride was HORRIBLE, with the driver getting lost, the bus being without air conditioning, and, ultimately getting into Brussels two hours late (after midnight)! Thus, I was SUPPOSED to CouchSurf but I did not want to go to my host that late; this, in turn cost me an additional $70.00 as I struggled to find a hotel late at night, in a city I had never seen, with a language I could not speak! THANK YOU EUROLINES!
