Day four. Travel to Europe.

Drops of the rain on the bus window, wet and dry atmosphere, grey and cloudy sky. This way France met me this morning. The mood of sorrow and sadness surrounded me. I had one desire: stay inside of the bus, take a cup of warm tea. But we should go, the excursion was ready to start. Normany and Brittany - two big areas on the coast of Atlantic Ocean - that was our aim for our trip this day. The desire to see the Ocean was stronger that any weather! Et la voila! C'est mon nouveaux voyage!
First we went to Rouen - an important historical site which is surrounded by mysteries, legends, riddles. Actually one of the most intresting places for me was the place of execution of Joan d'Arc. I've always been intrested in the story of that brave girl. And that day I was in a place which was connected with her. But that wasn't the only thig that we have visited. It is also intresting to tell some words about Rouen Cathedral. It's an intresting fact that one of the most famous French impressionist - Claude Monet - created 30 paints of that Cathedral in different time of the year and in different time of the day. It's intresting and fascinating, isn't it?





Then, after rainy city, we went to the monastery Mont-Saint-Michel. It is an amazing and magnificent structure which, of course, has its own mystery legend. The thing that I remember the most (even now) is only one. Staires! Loads of stairs! You have to passed all of them so that you will reach the top where the monastery is situated. "But I won't give up too fast!" - I thought. And I was right! It was an incredible, amazing, fascinating, breathtaking view over there. That was fantastic!



In the end of the day we went to Saint Malo to have a diner and to see it! The Ocean! It was so exciting! The majestic and powerful Atlantic! Despite the fact that we were there in a deep evening, despite the fact that it was cold and windy, I saw a mirical! The waves flew up like a fountain and exploded crashing into the walls! Some were big, some were small but it was stronger that me, it was stronger that anyone else! It was a power! It was the Ocean! I was impressed.

But this fourth day came to the end. Unfortunately it would be only some days more and will come back home.
