Our first day with the car was interesting. We had trouble getting out of the huge airport and we pulled over to look at the map. We were up on a little incline. When Susan tried to put the car in reverse she couldn’t. A moment of panic sat in. She drove off the little incline with no damage. On the highway she couldn’t figure out how to put the car in cruise control. I got out the information booklet and guess what: it was all in French. After several attempts Susan did figure out how to put the car in reverse.
We arrived in Honfleur and were met by Amanda and Craig, the apartment managers. They were very gracious and Craig even help carry our suitcases to the apartment. They answered all our questions and made reservations at a great restaurant for us. We went to the store before dinner and bought some snacks, coffee cream and of course wine.
We had a GPS in our car in France that spoke French, of course. We never did figure out how to switch it to English, but it was still useful as it told you what road number you were on and which town you were headed toward. Traveling is definitely an adventure!
Yes, driving is an adventure. A tour book said it would take 86 minutes to drive from Paris to Honfleur. I figure it took us three or four hours because we didn’t listen to Madeline (the name we give our GPS).
Wow..Paris was fun! Thanks… We love seeing the HAPPY in all of you!
We are having a happy time. We are ready for the next adventure.
Sounds like you lady’s are really enjoying yourselves and your wine!!
