Visited the Bayeux tapestry today, i had seen it before but it was years ago. The tapestry (70 meters..)is in a building not far away the cathedral, it tells the story of Wilhelm the great (who started as the Bastard), you get a kind of little phone while watching the tapestry which tells in details what happens in each part. I'm still surprised at the level of details and how beautiful the thing is as it is closing to thousand years old now...

Wilhelm and his merry men... he would still be called the bastard if he didn't win the battle...
I also visited Caen , the main city in Normandie, not far from Bayeux. The city is an university city, it seemed like a nice place to study, with many young people roaming around..
nice view on the Cathedral of Caen, got to love the gargoyles...
I'll have to stay up at 4 o clock in the morning tommorow to reach my flight to Rome from Paris Orly, it was nice to visit Normandie and come back into the French way of life... speaking of that, i made a little study of mine, feel free to comment on that...
Differences between France and Norway
In French mc donalds i got small sized: a medium coca-cola in france is about the size of a small one in Norway....(and you can drink beers there!!!)
I'm seen as thin in Norway , but in France i'm rather large (not fat but still...)...
3 glasses of wine while driving is completly acceptable in France, in Norway you get the death penalty for that (well almost...)
Lot of free stuff for the turists (and most people it seems...) in France! free parking everywhere, free shuttle from the aeroports etc.. they should learn from the Norwegians and make people pay for EVERYTHING (people who have visited/lived there know...)!!! Honestly the Norwegian government make the Cosa Nostra seem like Father Christmas and his elves...
French got the nerve to complain about the weather...
