Our first exhibition lead us southwards towards Saint-Pierre and from there via the only road to cross the island over the mountain pass, down via the Plaine des Palmistes to Saint-Benoît and back home, passing Le Grand Brûlé (where lava flows from Réunion's active volcano into the Indian ocean) and lots of small villafes along the island's south coast.

Starting at Karlsruhe main station, taking the TGV to Paris from where our flight left (which was faster than flying from Frankfurt!). After an 11 hour overnight flight we landed safely on Réunion, picked up our rental car and headed towards La Saline-les-Bains on the island's west coast where we had our apartment.

After lunch on sunday, we left Byala and headed back towards Bucharest.

The weekend at the Byala Beach Resort, relaxing at the poolside, swimming in the black sea, reading books, socializing and enjoying the wilder parts of the party in the evening.

On the way to the 1&1 Romania summer fest 2011 in Byala.

After two long days and nights, we were exhausted and relieved to be on the train. Unfortunately we had to wait quite a while for its departure - a time I used to walk around the Gare de l'Est a bit.

Our second night out.

We spent most of Saturday walking past some of the major site seeing locations in Paris, the Eiffel tower, the Champs Elysées with the triumphal arch, up through Montmartre to the Sacré-Cœur, down back on the other side through the 10th arrondissement of Paris.
