A day trip to IKEA

Saturday was supposed to be a relaxing, resting day. It didn't quite happen like that though. Towards lunchtime Rachel came round for a cup of tea and then we took the metro to Castellane to meet Aimee and Louise. We then put ourselves on a very crowded number 50 bus to IKEA. We spend several hours wandering round IKEA. Louise bought a clothes rail for her room because it wasn't meubleed. Rachel bought a present for Fanny (the student who put her up when she first arrived whilst she was looking for an appartment). Aimee bought a drainer and chopping board and I bought a radio and a red fleece throw thing as well as 6 wine glasses. It was so cheap - 6 wine glasses for 1 euro 50 and a huge red cosy fleece throw thing for 3 euros 98! Bargains. We then got the bus back, each with our blue IKEA bags... That was interesting because the bus was really really busy and we were taking up a considerably large amount of space with all our purchases. Me and Rachel went back to mine, buying a baguette en route, and had soup chez moi. Later on in the evening we took the metro to Rond Point to meet up again with Aimee and Louise. We then took the bus to the beach where the wind was ridiculous. We went for dinner in a mexican restaurant. It was very very nice. We then had to walk back to Rond Point and take the metro back to our various stops to get home. I went home, showered and collapsed in bed completely exhaused.
