Spending my free time reading

Now that the exams are over, I finally have the time to read books again.
The awesome thing about reading is that you can do this in your bed, on the bus, in your garden, and so on. But I enjoy reading most when I'm at the beach. The sound of the sea and he seagulls and the warmth of the sun makes it so relaxing while you are concentrating on a good novel.

The book I'm reading at the moment is "De trage wals van de schildpadden", written by Katherine Pancol. She is a French novelist and the book I mentioned is the second one of her three-volume saga.
The title in French is: La Valse lente des tortues. Usually I read in Dutch, but there are several books I have read in English.
I think Katharine Pancol is an excellent writer. She makes her characters so interesting and I could identify in a way with some of them. Although not every situation created in the book is completely realistic, I just wanted to continue reading until it was finished. This novel is very relaxing and there is much humour in it, so I really recommend this book to people who like reading.

France - Day 6 & 7: Our Last Days!

We didn't really do much. It were our last 2 days before going to Disneyworld :)

I ate some DELICIOUS lasagna (I <3 Lasagna)

We went home pretty late, but I slept well ^^

France - Day 4 & 5: Relax Day at the House and our trip to Les Beaux

It was another great day ^^

We went to a small historical town. It's a very touristic place, but really nice :) 

I bought some candy and a bottle of perfume ~

France - Day 3: Being Lazy & Trip to Silvacane

It was another lazy and warm day, but we really enjoyed our trip to the abbey of Silvacane.

The windows inside the church are so pretty !

After the visit we went to some little villages and drank something ^_^

The houses there are cute! Living in the south of France must be amazing.

At the end of the day we watched some amazing firework <3

France - Day 2: Chillin' & Trip to Lourmarin

Another nice and hot day. We started with a small French breakfast, a baguette and some local cheese combined a good cup of coffee to get ready for the day.
After a quick dive in the pool to cool ourselves off we went to the nearby town of Lourmarin, a little town with some very nice shops and a cute little market. I bought some nice things I will show you in a later post ^^.

France - Day 1: On The Road

13-08-2011

All our bags were packed and we're ready to go. Rise and shine at 04:15 AM and on the road at 04:50. 

It was a very long drive ahead of us but I had confidence in the driving capabilities of my boyfriend. To save some of our vacation money we took the long way so we left some hours before the rest of my family.

Hoping for better weather on our holiday we didn't bother packing much against the cold we had grown tired of in Belgium. That was a brilliant move! In our old Mazda demio there is no AC and the heat was on for the whole 1090 kilometers long trip. 

Traveling between the forests of the Ardennes and the French countryside we made our way to the verge of the Luberon Mountains. The trip was an amazing experience and we had lots of fun in the car but we were happy to arrive in Lauris, the precious little town where we're staying. 

After staying in the car for hours we were so damn happy to arrive and to top it all off we were the first ones there, so we sat down on a little terrace where we drank a well-earned beverage.
