Sauvebelin tower

Today i moving place to my new apartment..so excited to see how the place looked like..Anyway i am meeting the relocation team at 1.30pm at NRC so i still got time in the morning..so decided to go the place that dean say must go one..
The Sauvebelin tower
Thanks to dean detailed instructions, i found the place without any effort..

Journey to the tower
And here i am....

The tower was really tall and a lot of steps to go up..need to exercise more le..i was a bit tired when i reached the top..


View from the top



Then after the view i went to the farm..around the lake (Lac De Sauvebelin)
Got a lot of animals there..

This cow even shit in front of us..

This is the bus station there..so happy that i finally know how to take their bus..their bus is so different..the bus driver nv open the door for the passengers..the passenger need to press a switch outside then the door will open..
Went back to the hotel to wait for 1pm to check out..in the meantime call for room service for lunch..lunch was roasted chicken breast..really yummy!!
After lunch, met up with the relocation team at NRC and finally i saw my apartment..it was not wat i imagined..its a "wu lu" place..with no air con and not even fans..OMG!! a very small place indeed..so many things to unpack and i am sooooo tired!! dun really feel like doing anything..but cant..haiz..
Pics of the surrounding of the apartment:
Small living room with the bed beside my sofa..so ke lian..
Small kitchen
Small bathroom
I think the whole place is only comparable to my house living room bah..really small..
Time to start my 2 months without my mummy doing housework for mi, no one to wash clothes and cook for mi, need to tidy up and sweep the floor..sianzzz..

Saint Francois

Walked around and around until i walked from one station to another..oh my!!

I think i found the restaurant that Ruth said..so went in to had my lunch..so nice to eat rice again!! i asked for fried wanton and fried rice..yummy!! but the portion was too much for mi to finish..very wasted!!

I think i walked too fast..nothing much for mi to shop cos i dun wan to bring too much barang now..cos i still need to move house tml..

So i decided to go Ouchy for the afternoon..
Took their metro to Ouchy

Its a nice jetty area.. a lot of yachts and a lot of pple relaxing, picnic, reading along the lakeside..
