    Europes Alps longesttt glacier

    5. september 2022, Sveits ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    Wylinn and Adrian to the longest glacier in the European Alps ! Melting quite fast so very lucky to have seen it . We drove 2 hours and then caught the cable cart up , which was free for me when we bought a family pass because I’m under 19 :))) We had a picnic lunch and then walked up to another look out up to some rocks :)Les mer

    Rhine River and falls

    4. september 2022, Tyskland ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    So we went for a float down the Rhine in some blow up orange boats . We floated for 5 hours . We had a picnic - Wylinn said that it’s no fun if you have no food , so we had a few courses to cover the 5 hours of floating . We went for several swims and took turns rowing , holding onto the back and kicking - which probably was quite counterproductive , and swimming while pulling the boats which were tied together. Then we drove to the waterfall which we would have gone down if we got out of the boats too late . It’s the most voluminous falls in Europe ( I think 😬 ). And wasn’t very tall but was pretty volumptuous .

    I took some pretty sick photos on dads 0.5x too, I hope you like the range of selfies offered .    Les mer

    🇨🇭+ dad

    2. september 2022, Sveits ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    So I was walking down the street in Zug and this man shouted at me from this balcony and so I went to stay with him and his friends.
    Dad came over to Switzerland and some other countries for a month - his first holiday this long in years - and I caught an overnight train from Luz to meet him in Switzerland at Adrian and Wylinn’s.
    They took me out for a few bike rides and yes I did die going up a huge hill that Adrian PARAGLIDES from (which shows how high it is) and stacked it (not while riding , i fell sideways when trying to get off the bike) halfway up at this hut that you can give some coins for fresh apple juice in. We went up for 2 hours and went up 500m . The sun set on the way down though which was so pretty and we could go down so fast and there were horses too so that part was very fun :))    Les mer

    Lac Des Gloriettes

    28. august 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Today we (Stan from Belgium and Lise from Luz) went for a hike and did a walk loop and then came back to swim in the Dam lake. So so cold oh my. But so beautiful and had a little waterfall and a rock where we jumped into the little pool from.
    We left early this morning to avoid people but it wasn’t too busy anyway as it’s the end of the season.
    Stan’s lunch was a baguette which he bought for lunch everyday at work and a saucisson and he held them in two hands for efficiency.
    The last pic is a mountain where the border to Spain is !    Les mer

    Cirque de Gavarnie

    15. august 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Last year , Aurelie stayed here and did what I am doing now - working for summer while staying in Jaques room and this weekend she came back with her family to visit. She’s from Belgium and we all went out together the night she came and then the next day I went with her and her family to Gavarnie , a not too long drive. We all had a picnic and then her step dad stayed with his friend to play music together and her sister stayed too because she had fractured her ankle. So Aurelie , her mum and I went for a 3 hour round walk and stopped to see a beautiful view of the waterfall and then sat by the lake with freezing water :)
    It was so beautiful here and on our way back horses came down the path and started grazing .    Les mer

    Medieval festival

    14. august 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    When in the south of France …
    There is a annual medieval festival held at the castle a 20 minute walk from where I’m staying. It used to be a proper castle and had heaps of market stalls and there were more people here on this day than usual. There were also spectacles of flame throwing and juggling, of horse riding where they then had to break each other’s sticks (we learnt about this in history but I forgot the name of this sport) and archery too. There was also a ‘royal family’ that was all dressed up and got front row seats.
    Lise and I walked under the stilt people and made a wish too :)    Les mer

    First Fet

    6. august 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    There are lots of little towns near Luz and each has a town Fet each year , usually in summer where there is fireworks , a DJ and lots of people of all ages , many family’s and reminds me of the Christmas carols at home .
    My first Fet was in Esterre , the town next to Luz and the fireworks for this one were the best of all the Fets I went to this trip. The DJ played we are the champions during it so I found it pretty funny this happened in a small French town with only some English speakers haha.
    We went to Jaques papaus for lunch and he had the most amazing view over the valley.
    There are markets on Monday morning and so Lise and I went for a walk around and got some brekkie from the Boulangerie too.
    I’ve been trying to make a memory album on the go so I spent an afternoon sticking things I’ve collected in :)    Les mer

    Gettin in the groove of Luz

    3. august 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Here is quite the collection. Emma and I went to the swimming pool between work :) we work 4 hours in the morning (8:30-12:30) and then 3 at night (6pm-9pm).
    Then there is the absolute ugliest bed we have ever made with Lise (she speaks the most English and we spend lots of time together at the Bar at night). Sorry to those customers 🥴🤢🤮
    Then there is my hotel brekkie and my hotel dinner - I have been eating a lot of toast with stuff of in - August is super busy so this is Sian’s diet and now mine too.

    Then here is a FaceTime with Jade and frankie when the time difference finally was okay.. they were just up late I think.

    This is Leenon , when she, Jaques and I got pizza and watched and movie and also got candy from the markets in the square that come every Friday and Monday. Thennnn here is a pretty view from my Saturday work- with an English guy cleaning apartments. Got my first paycheckkkk and ooo it feels good to have money coming in and not just going out 😊😎

    And then also the river in town.

    And lastttt to #keepitrealwithyouguys here is a picture I sent Scout while having a meltdown xx clearly wasn’t that funny at the time but quite the laugh to look back on. Glad I saved the photo. I’m completely fine though. I have quite a few of these in my camera roll.
    Super overtired and slept in until 11am on my rest day only to then have a 4 hour nap after lunch. :)    Les mer

    Workin girl

    25. juli 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Peep the first pic is me with the mayor of Luz! There was a ceremony in the square ( which the kitchen window of their apparement overlooks) that the mayor had to do a speech at with lots of important army people dressed up. So when Laurent had put his fancy attire on he told me this doesn’t happen often so said this was my only chance to get a proper photo with the mayor. So as he is the mayor we got a quick photo outside the hotel. Haha.

    I worked my first day the day after I arrived and have been doing a big mixture of ironing, washing, cleaning rooms, making beds, vacuuming, helping at the bar, and a bunch of other stuff. We all just kind of do everything.

    There are some other girls my age who I work with and they are all very sweet and we have lots of fun. They all speak a bit of English so we communicate with a bit of words with a bit of exaggerated expressions and charades actions sometimes but they are so funny and some of the things they say in English are just hilarious. I’ve been learning my way around the laundry room as we have made a deal that I help them improve their English and they help me learn French so we have made a vocab list. They know more English than I know French so I try to practice more when I have free time. Gosh I wish I learnt a language in school 🙄🤓

    The hotel is has very pretty views from the windows and the apartment in Les Templiers (they have two hotels - Les Sims and Les Templiers, 2 doors down from each other) is so so nice. We saw some cute birds too. In the photo is Emma and Laurine at Les Sims <3    Les mer

    Luz

    24. juli 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    So you can only add 10 photos now to find penguins unless u buy premium. So if anyone is dying for content (not that I’ve been posting very consistently sorry) then I will be accepting donations to fund this ! Kidding. (Unless,..) I will adapt to this and maybe just post more small posts. 😬🥹

    Here is the start of my month in Luz. I caught the overnight train from Paris which this time I actually had a bed ! I was in the middle of a 3 layer bunk bed and I taught 3 of the people how to play go fish so we had a game before bed.

    Then I took the bus from Lourdes to Luz (I actually went too far and had to get picked up so have actually been to Bagues now) and the bottom right guy caught the bus too so helped me get onto the right ones as he spoke French. He was about to go on a 10 day hike alone so quite the trip.

    I am staying with Sian, Laurent and one of their sons Jaques (the other Aiden lives on campus at Sydney uni right now), and I’m sleeping in Jaques bed - he is in the attic of the hotel for August😬 but apparently this happens every year for him when Sian’s friends daughters come to stay.

    On the first day I had lunch with them at Laurent’s uncle and aunts house (Tati and Tonton) and also his dad (Papau). They were very sweet.

    Luz is so beautiful and I went to the Château (castle) that is a 20 minute walk. It’s a very cute town.    Les mer
