Thanks for the travel journal, Threviel.

Can you imagine a version with several Languishites touring in an RV, call it 'Five go mad in Dalmatia'

I'm trying to do a nice final write-up, but not being Savonarola I'm having difficulties.

Some notes:

Biggest surprise: How utterly friendly and helpful the French have been. For example, a few times in supermarkets I have looked lost and people have walked up to me and tried to help. They actually noticed that I looked lost and despite the language tried to help.

Best experience: Rouffignac and Fon-de-Gaume, to actually see and appreciate rock art changed my views a little bit. It really is good art irrespective of age.

Most expected: People actually walked around with baguettes a lot.

Most overrated: Difficult, but provably Saint Malo or Mont st Michel.

Most fun: Definitely Disneyland.

Most moving: Walking in the trenches in Verdun. Damn what a horrible place that must have been.

Worst: The only not exactly positive experience was the Mediterranean coast, felt touristy and unfriendly. Also when Gustav split his forehead, he's good now, but there'll be a not very nice scar.

Also Germans are worthless drivers, fucking idiots should go to driving course in France.

I have gone from a francophobe to something of a francophone, it is a nice country filled with nice people, just a shame that their leaders have been such useless wankers.
