ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- Although we ended up at first missing our train due to a taxi driver taking us to the wrong place, we turned it into an adventure, and I was proud that I could hold my own in a fight in French.
- On the other hand, the scenery is magnificent, the service impeccable, and the prices of almost everything are so high as to shock the British and the French.
- So, there are not a lot of smiles but there is a great deal of willingness to help strangers, and once the ice is broken, there is a great deal of personal warmth.
