At 6 o`clock in the morning on the 15th
of December(Saturday) we all ware very happy because we got ready
to leave, as we had planed we meet in the bus-station in front of
the Unirea Super Market from where we took a bus to Otopeni airport.
After waiting two hours and after clarifying a few problems related
to my flight ticket we boarded an Romanian Air Lines airplane.
On the plane we had the pleasant surprise to see even though we didn`t
know it that the services provided by Tarom are better then those
provided by the others companies these included TV and 7 radio channels,
also the food served was very good.
At 11am we ware above the Adriatic Sea, for me being the first time
when I was traveling by plane, the forms of the clouds seemed unusual
,reminding me of waves.
After 2 hours of flying we ware on the Fiumicino airport in Rome,
already the first changes were beginning to show. Once in the airport
I could compare it with the Otopeni airport. The airport was very
modern resembling more to a supermarket then an airport with lots
of mechanized stairs and shops.
When we thought that all was going well our flight was delayed by
2 hours so at 2:30 local time we embarked on an AirFrance airplane
with the destination Paris.
One hour after takeoff we ware crossing the French Alps and the peak
Mont Blanc ,after another hour we ware above Paris which from 3000m
up in the air seemed interminable ,everywhere you would look you would
see only flats ,houses and the River Sena ,from this altitude even
the Eiffel Tower seemed small.
After landing the hardest part of the journey was to come ,a race
through the metro `s of Paris ,a time race to catch the train that
means a 40 minutes of running everybody carrying a 15-20kg baggage.
While running through the metro station a saw a tidiness hard to imagine
even thou there ware no trash cans to be seen, the place of shops
was taken by vending machines which ware in a perfect shape !!!.
Luckly we managed to catch the train in the nick of time, an TGV(Traine
au Grande Vitesse) which took us to Quimper.
After a 4 hour journey at 12 pm local time we ware in Quimper were
we ware welcomed by Ionel English teacher at the "LE LIKES"
high-school.
Arrived at the Celtic Hotel in the center of Quimper I was surprised
to see that my room had a television and also an heater although this
was only a 2 star hotel.
At 13pm we decided to go to sleep since we had to get up at 7am the
next morning.
