The final day in France

(16/07/2017)
Greetings people, I'm back with another blog post at another location in France where Emma's French Grand Parents live plus today is however the last day in France because tomorrow, we are leaving in the afternoon after lunch, will be heading to Nice airport flying to Dubrovnik in Croatia.

Well, I'll begin with the second last day in Lyon. That day was Bastille Day. For a start, we went to a museum of movie making history. At that place we saw lots of characters on display also character items such as equipment, tools and weapons some bits came to be gross and one gave me a jump scare which was from the movie Alien and that is the Xenomorph Queen but the most interesting is seeing the videos of the behind the scenes of movies like, Night at the Museum 2 also Batman the dark night.
At evening was the Bastille Day Parade where lots of trucks, cars and troops of the Military, just troops for both Airforce and Navy. Cars and bikes of the Police, and men, fire tenders, vans and fire trucks of the fire brigade. All moving through the road and then disappearing out of site.  I took some videos of the parade but I can't show it because it's just too long about 10 minutes. Another thing is at the park we even walked through the Lyon's small zoo.

On the next day which was the final day in Lyon, after having breakfast, we set off on a tram to a museum mostly of natural history and others but we didn't see everything because of Emma but it wasn't her fault, it was because that she was so sick and she was having pain all around her body so the full amount of time in the museum was cut short and we had to get back to the hotel. Next after having hours of rest, we went out again but before we just left, we packed our suit cases so they're ready for the next day so back to when we went out again we were heading out to a restaurant but while we were walking through a small park, some people were lighting off their firecrackers and giving some of the people about of a fright. The restaurant we went to was a pizza restaurant but we were not having pizza there because it has not been a week since we had pizza but Emma and I had steak while Dad and I think Mum had Lasagna. As Dad and I watched the fireworks, Mum was supposed to watch as well but Emma was so sick so Mum had to go back to the hotel with her but the fireworks took about 20 to 25 minutes, I did take some videos but I can't show them because they're quite long but I did get to bed so late I was tired in the next morning.

The next day which is Yesterday, we completely packed our suit cases and after breakfast we got to the train station and collected our chosen car and drove off to our French Grand Parents house. We did have some stops and got through some gates that required collecting tickets and payment for passing. The whole drive to 5 and a half hours and one of the reasons is because of a traffic jam. So then we arrived but we did have to wait until someone of the French family can open the remote controlled gate and Marianne who's the Mother of Emma's French family let us through and Angele was so excited to see us. So as I went for a swim with her, we both before their cousin Tom came were playing tag in the pool even around it. After finishing as minutes before finishing Tom joined in, we were walking around talking even I showed Marianne this blog then we had dinner and also Yesterday was Angeles 9th birthday and we all went to bed.

For today French Grandpa Daniel, Angele and Tom went out and it was just my family, Lue and Marianne with her new partner, as Mum, Dad, Marianne and her partner went out shopping I went for a swim. Emma was sitting next to the pool and acting like a swimming teacher although she was since earlier this year before term 2. I've been swimming in the pool for a bit of a while until after trying to dive into the pool, I got out although I didn't dive in but jumped in because as the sun up and shining, the diving platform was so hot, it was burning my feet. After having lunch I took a break of playing on my tablet and doing some drawing even working on this blog post. After doing those, I went for a swim again as Dad went in the pool first and I followed but Emma did say she was going for a swim but she took a while as she was a bit carried away. After swimming for a while even doing some practice dives, Angele arrived with her Grandparents and she got into the pool as well and we had fun. Then another French named Chloe who is the exact same age as me, came and got into the pool as well. Then we had dinner and after having a relaxing, Anton arrived and now this is where I end up plus I've caught up with the time.

So, I'll do some more blog posts on the holiday but for now and tomorrow I might leave the production of the next blog post in 2 days time when I'm in Croatia and until next time, good bye.
