Paris and then La Rochelle!

Gerald · 06-21-13, 12:22 PM

I came from the boat at the port,today and will in the next week to go to Paris, and then I hired a car to take me down to La Rochelle (480km) where I live in a house by the sea...

Biscay, offers good environment and recreation,then I will go around a bit to see harbor scenes in the movie Das Boot along other things

I wish everyone in SubSim a good and happy summer

Don't even think of coming back here... without a crap-ton of pictures!

He's screwing around in France while some of us are working

Gerald · 06-21-13, 12:59 PM

Pictures should be taken....

Will think about it, certainly exciting with it, if there is professional help,

This is me a week or so ago...most effective and fastest acting laxative I've ever taken

Cool....one thing is clear to be moderately drunk if you're going to do something like

The scariest part was being driven up a mountain dirt track in a bus to the 6550 foot take off point

The dual paragliding part was easy

Gerald · 06-21-13, 02:29 PM

6550 foot,you climb the Himalayas?

but the photos are taken by Mrs. and they show you, before yours pants are gone

Jimbuna · 06-21-13, 02:32 PM

The pictures were taken by a friend...the wife is actually in one of those shots

Unfortunately, there is practically nothing any more to see in the old U-Boat base in La Pallice.

The buildings belong now to the harbor authorities (and no more to the French Navy).

Same thing in Lorient : but here, visits are organized (mainly in Keroman III). It's even possible to go on the top, near the 3 Flak positions (clearly visible on the picture inside my sig).

But while threading, one can enter and see the U-Boat cells ... But in La Pallice, what is unused by the harbor is now sealed.

Brest always belongs to the French Navy : so, out of limits !!!

At all events, good stay in France, Vendor !

Cheers.

How long did it take to go paragliding....after the adventure, a great whiskey

Jimbuna · 06-21-13, 02:39 PM

The flight was about 40 mins and the EFES tasted fantastic afterwards
