My first travel this year started on Friday 17th July. I left Prague in the evening and I took a flight to Paris. My friend Thomas came to pick me up at the airport. I had a bad cold and after taking a flight I suffered from a hearing problem for one week. On Saturday we visited the center of Paris and Thomas took me to the place with food stalls at the riverbank where we had dinner. There were different kinds of food from many countries, I saw also Senegalese food there but finally we chose Asian food. The following day we left Paris early in the morning and we travelled to the Mont Saint Michel. It was a long journey and we arrived there around noon. It was a low tide when we got there.


The weather was partly sunny and partly cloudy but not really warm, it was around 20°C that day. We walked up the streets and we visited the abbey. Then we left and we went to the Saint Malo city which is a port with many ancient buildings. Afterwards we had dinner in a restaurant. We ordered oysters and mussels. We returned to Paris late at night. Thomas was free on Monday and he took me to Etretat in Upper Normandy. I had already visited it once in 2012. It was 25°C that day and some people were swimming in the sea. I swam too but I stayed in the water only for a few minutes because of my cold. Then we walked on the shore and on the cliffs, enjoying the wonderful view.


We had dinner in a restaurant nearby and we ate mussels and shrimps. Then we returned to Paris.
Thomas was busy working during the next days so I visited Paris alone and I met some old friends. It was very hot there, some days even 35°C.


I left Paris on Thursday afternoon. I bought a bus ticket to Brussels with Eurolines only for 9 Eur. I visited my Czech friend who works there for an European institution. In the evening we had dinner with her friends in an Indian restaurant. I ate shrimps and rice. My friend has to work on Friday so I visited Brussels alone but I met her for lunch and then I went to Atomium.


Then I returned to the center and I took photos. It was my second time in Brussels. I met Samba from Senegal in the evening who is a musician. We went to a fast food firstly and then we walked to the Brussels beach where we had a drink. Then we went to a bar and I returned to my friend's home late at night.
On Saturday it got much colder. I didn't bring any warm clothes with me so I had to borrow my friend's ones. She took me to an African restaurant Au soleil d'Afrique. We had a delicious food there, I ate rice, chicken and sauce. We visited the city but it was cold and rainy so we returned home and we watched a movie. I returned to Prague on Sunday.
