-ARRAS, -3 - +5
This morning was absolutely FREEZING! Drove to school and there was ice on all the footpathes and windows and windscreen, could hardly see out, driving was a little scary.. Got to school, our last day in Arras! But we weren't there for lond, went to a memorial/cave thing at about 9.30am which was cool. Got to wear headphnes and we took a lift underground to where soldiers lived/worked during WWI and WWII- in caves and tunnels under the town. Was really interesting, can't imagine what it must've been like to stay down there for weeks on end, it wouldv'e been horrible. After that we walked to the TAFE-type campus of the school and had lunch at their restaurant where the students make the meals and serve etc. Was very delicious- salad with tuna, then veal schnitzel, then coffee/cream/chocolate mousse!! Was all very nice :)
We then walked to the town hall in Arras and went underneath to 'Les Boves' which are the tunnels and caves and cellars underneath the town hall and town squares. Was very dark and damp and wet down there, and incredibly humid- 80%! Was a little gross. These, like the other tunnels, were used by town civilians also during the wars. Cami then met me at the town hall with a friend and we walked around Arras for a little bit. I bought some presents (yay!) and a Longchamp bag! I got it in chocolate brown and I'm very happy with it. After that we went back to the school and chilled in the common room until 7pm cos then we had a farewell dinner at the school with all the Australians and the Frenchies and their families. Dinner was delicious, Camille's mum made the awesome pasta again and everyone loved it! I was lucky and got seconds hahahaha. After dinner we went to....
THE LOFT!! (FRENCH NIGHTCLUB) Omg it was so good, we got there and got straight on the dancefloor and danced sooo much it was so much fun!! Cannot believe that I went clubbing in France, that's amazing!! (In France you can go clubbing at 16) Slept in Cami's room and we talked- 2nd last night in France :(
