My first trip to France :- Me and People I met with!!

As you all know we have a very cheap flights to visit near by countries....When I received an offer email from Ryanair (Cheap airways) about the 5 euro tickets, I advised myself not to look their site.. But you all know taht I couldn't control myself .. So that end with this trip.. To be honest when I checked this destination (Carcassonne) I did not have any idea where it is located.. Okay.. with the internet the world is in our hand.. So I did check and I found very interesting that the place is famous for the Medieval castle.. So I could not stop to book the ticket.. and I supposed to stay there for three days since there is less frequency .. As I was told, Carcassonne is a small city and takes just half a day to see the castle and I had been advised to visit the other city Toulouse mean while.... That was in fact great idea!!

More interestingly I found a very nice people to stay with in both cities!!! That made my trip more exciting!!


The day I arrived it was heavily raining in Carcassonne.. Strom and according to the weather report it should continue for other day .. Non stopping!!!.. It was!!

Since, Carcassonne is a very small city I could not find the bus details online to reach the family where I suppose to go..I just had their address and thought would be easy to reach there.. Since it was heavily raining I was thinking how could I get there... I just decided to first reach the railway station from the Airport by bus.. When It reached the Train station I showed the address to the driver, he asked me to get back into the bus.. and very surprisingly he drove me and dropped me right in front of their house.. I smiled myself .. Nothing I could do expect thanking god!!!

The family was very welcoming and they have small boy named "Yann".. He reveived me with lot of smiles.. Her mother asked me what was my plan.. I suppose to visit caslte and just walk around.. Since, it was raining heavily I thought of just resting at home.. But More surprisingly Yann wanted to take me to show around even with that heavy rain fall.. Then I got some energy to go with him.. we had some issue of communication (French/English).. But this smart guy was trying to make me understand with his action..

So Starting with "Yann", my little sweet youngest guide I ever had...

We were completely wet after visit.. Not at all surprising you right???..

Okay..
Sometime it is necessary to capture photos with me.. At least to prove that I had been there!!
So here are some proofs .. (Please believe .. Real pictures no photoshop!! I know how you think..)




I am happy to share this .. That is about my other interesting host (Guilluame) from Toulouse.. He surprised me with dinner.. It was almost Indian .. Fish cooked with Some spice and coconut milk .. of course with rice and wine it went perfect..
What do you think??then comes again me, to show more proofs in Toulouse.. Ha ha ha..



I would like to end this post with "Yann".. You know, he tried to teach me some words in french.. Specially I liked the sound of number "4" (Quatre).. He tried his best to get that sound and finally he gave up.. Ha ha ha.. You should know now how good I am in learning language..

Poor Portuguese people .. They are trying hard too.. Fortunately they didn't give up so far..

Poor "Yann" too..


Sweet guy..
Okay.. here I take an opportunity to thank everyone made my trip very special.. And I ask you all to get ready to see more posts.. Do not be in hurry to see all at the same day..
Take you own time..
