La Rochelle, France

Today was our day for wandering through La Rochelle. We went to the tourist information in the morning and ran into a girl from Roberta’s room, Cheryl from Canada, and spent the day walking through the food markets and stalls which covered a lot of the city.

We bought food and headed to a park, which overlooked a channel and the harbor’s entrance, where we had lunch. Afterwards we went to the supermarket to stock up on food as we are going to Ile de Re, an island four kilometers of the coast, tomorrow to camp for the next four nights.

We had our supermarket microwave dinners at the hostel and then went out for a drink. There was me, Roberta, Cheryl, Tash from Brisbane, Felicity and Aleese from Newcastle, Helen and Sarah from Auckland, Ariana from the US, Melanie from Canada and another Kiwi, Fiona. We went to a local bar and sat outside for a drink in the new part of town. This is an area we hadn’t even discovered until then, but we should have more time to explore here when we return for the Eurobus to Bordeaux.
