After waiting 8 months, I finally got to see what my birthday present was...waking up on a sunny Saturday, my backpack ready for a great adventure filled with what my friends told me, for over 8 months I only had clues to guess what my present was.
2 pm, they finally park in front of my house, and the journey can begin, I knew what my present was kind of but still, I had no idea where it was, after two and a half hours driving, we arrived at Low-Normandy in Médizon...
The sun's still with us, I discovered a farm surrounded by a forest, we were about to sleep in a tree house in a middle of a farm...that present was one of the best I've ever had, nothing around us but a creek, animals, and trees!
For dinner
The owner of the farm arrived in a small car delivering a basket filled with sausages, butter, cider and water then for dinner we had duck with green beans, potatoes, and carrots, for dessert cheese and bread before eating the famous apple pie of Normandy (I have to say that it was super good even though I don't like green beans potatoes and apple pies haha).
Sun comes down and we prepared ourselves to go to bed after an amazing game night (discovering things about us that we didn't know...our friendship is the best...but after discovering so many things about each other we can consider ourselves as a family...because now it goes beyond friendship!!)
Waking up at 5.30 am
To see the sunrise, we spend one-hour chasing spiders before we went to bed (lucky us there was a small shovel inside the tree house) so let's say that I didn't sleep much after that!
But waking up so early was the best idea we had, the place was so quiet, it was like the entire world was asleep except us, the morning dew was a pure beauty for the eyes, we felt like we were in a Jane Austin book. The sun barely rising, the rays of the sun trying to break through the forest, and finally, we arrived in the field, the sunrise was amazing to see, the light was perfect, the animals waking up slowly and us taking pictures...lots of pictures...Then we went back to the treehouse for breakfast (croissant, bread, salty butter, strawberry royal jelly and apple juice) and that was it, my birthday present came to an end, but really that was amazing I felt like Robinson Crusoe, except that I was in a forest and not stuck on an Island!
Backpack Lists:
" Chère Émilie, outre la traditionnelle brosse à dent et ton appareil photo ainsi que tes lunettes de soleil, il va te falloir deux ou trois petites choses pour remplir ta valise, comme tu t’en doutes.
Très prévoyantes, Emeline et moi t’avons concocté non pas UNE, mais DEUX listes de voyage afin que tu choisisses la destination de tes rêves.
