The Party in Valence

Hey, I came back to Europe!
A year after my first trip to Europe, i came back to this continent, with longer trip time, 1.5 months
Started in Paris, went down to Valance, Grenoble, Lyon, Dijon, back to Paris. That was in France.

Flew to Paris with a famous airlines from Malaysia, Tisa and I got our flight from Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur delayed, our transit time was only 1.20 minutes. That means we had to run from arrival to departure hall in KLIA. We could run and got in the next flight on time. 
We arrived in Charles des Gaulle airport in Paris also on time, wait for the bags before catching the train to Valence. We waited more than an hour, but our bags were not seen!  We found out because of the delayed, our bags were left in KL. I was confused, everything is in the bag, i could't imagine travelling without my bag, my clothes and everything else..
But we couldn't do anything, just had to wait for the bags to be delivered to Grenoble, in three days! So, off we went to Valance, to a party without any clothes to change into.

But it was fun in Valence, the party, a birthday party of Thierry's brother's, Pascal's 40th birthday. There in France (apparently also in all Europe) when someone is having 20, 30, 40 or any with zero birthday, they celebrate it big.
Helping out by cutting tomatoes for salad.

Picking cherries and eating them!

Delicious cherries!
Our room in Valence, four beds in mixed dormitory.

entree: Salmon fillet, hmm.. yummy!
Well, even though we didn't have our bags, we still had fun. So, travelling very light is possible.
