Now that we are back, I have time to tell you about the trip in more detail. So, Day 1!
We set off on a coach from college to Liverpool Airport, checked in, sorted out luggage etc, then I and some of my friends ate in a restaurant. I imagine everyone had their lunch then in various places around the airport. Eventually the time came to get on the plane; the journey was longer than I had expected but was really enjoyable. The best bits were seeing the clouds from above...
... and also seeing the beautiful fields of France, which looked like molten gold; truly stunning.
We arrived in Carcassonne; it was a lot warmer and sunnier there! The landscape was gorgeous, all fields and mountains. We got into a coach which took us to our lovely hotel. The hotel was brilliant; the suites were huge! I think technically they were apartments. I was with Niamh and Sam as usual, and we became really good friends.
Here are some shots of the lovely view from our window:
That evening the whole group went up the hill to the old walled town of Carcassonne...
...from which the view was lovely!
We had a little look around the town and then had a meal in a restaurant in Carcassonne. C'était délicieux!
I had a starter of onion soup, a main course of duck casserole, and a dessert of chocolate truffle with cream and raspberry sauce. It was all wonderful; French food truly is the best.
After a lovely meal we went back to the hotel and back to our rooms; a group of us played cards in our room for a bit which was brilliant.
Eventually we went to bed after a really fantastic first day in France.
