Well, the south of France every time. It’s been 8 years since I’ve been there at this time of year.
And as always, I’ll try to update the blog from there as much as possible.
I’m sorry to say this is a private matter, but I entered into the marriage at the end of last year. I’m not sure if it’s too old or not, but I don’t feel like having a fancy wedding party, so I decided to have a simple ceremony in a small town near the Italian border called « Manton » in Cote d’Azur, south of France. We decided to have a simple ceremony.
More on the history and details of this area later.
Since we’re going out of our way, we thought we’d enjoy the trip with both families.
On Saturday 12th, a total of 11 people from both families gathered safely at Narita. My sister’s family will join us in Menton after spending a few days in Paris. The rest of us will go to the Midi-Pyrenees region, 100% on my own initiative.
We stayed in the central city of Toulouse via Amsterdam with KLM Airlines.
On the way to Amsterdam, we had to wait for 5 hours and 30 minutes for a transfer, so we went to the city for a bit. There were so many people, so I was a little worried about getting lost, but everyone was very mature.
By the way, I arranged everything by myself, and the hardest thing was to arrange the air ticket. This July is the vacation season, so I felt a lot of pressure, but thanks to my early arrangement in February, I was able to avoid it.
Well, I arrived at Toulouse at 10 p.m. and took a taxi to the hotel in the city. I asked what I should do because the reception closes at 10 p.m. in advance, but I received this email saying « Don’t worry, I’ll show you how to get in.
The hotel is an apartment type hotel, but it is a common type of hotel like this. When you check in late, there is a sign on the door or something that says « call here », and if you call, they will tell you how to get in (the code number at the entrance is almost always the same).
I’ve done this a few times in the past, so I was able to handle it calmly. I was able to enter without any problems at all. I felt like I had just completed an RPG quest!
In the safety box at the entrance, there is a card key for the room, which is distributed to everyone.
Yes, I was able to activate the prepaid SIM that I bought in advance via holiday phone.
明日は2手にわかれての観光です。もちろん、ドライブもします！
