Travelling-elling

Thomas, Fahd, Robin, Gaspard (hiding behind Robin) and Manu in Marseille, at the airport, waiting for our plane to Prague.

When we arrived at the Sofia Airport at 01:00am, Jerry and his minibus were waiting for us. We were delighted to see that we had our own vehicle - how classy -, but less so when, as we took a break after a 4-hour-long journey, Jerry told us: "We're about halfway now". All right then!

Julia, Cécile and I sunbathing at the hotel, looking incredibly good after our night in the bus and a not-so-filling breakfast.

On the coast of Balchik, looking at a jelly fish.

How to catch a sea snake in 5 steps, by Robin. Step 1: Stand above the water and spot a little snake. Step 2: Attract a local's attention so that he wants to get into the water, with his shoes and pants on, as close to the snake as possible. Step 3: Let the local throw his hand in the water at the speed of sound and catch the little bastard. Step 4: With his free hand, let the local catch a second little bastard, still at the speed of sound - though it's less impressive the second time. Step 5: Get one of the snakes from him, say thanks and smile at the camera. 

Things that will need a little improvement: 

- Not much contact with the non-French since we arrived - but we've only been here for a few hours and everybody (desesperately) needed some rest 

- The breakfast we ate had obviously been stolen from a Bulgarian airline company, and Thomas nearly suffocated when he read the amount of E232 and other conservatives contained in every biscuit (we also nearly stuffed things in his mouth so he'd stop reading, but he was just too amazed to quit).

The lunch was also a tiny bit light, but we managed to get full by stealing in each other's plate - you have to eat fast or die. However, since we are French, complaining about food is not really something anybody should worry about.

Things that make us think it's gonna be a great month:

- We, the French, seem to get on well with each other and we're all willing to learn from each other's passion for guitar, Arab, English and soccer injuries.

- The place is really nice and the weather is warm
