Food, Drink, Laundry & other essentials

by: Ben

We're in desperate need of clean clothes, so we're off to find a laundromat. Hopefully there will be good food nearby, AS WE'RE ALSO VERY HUNGRY!!!

According to our internet research we were told to: Ask at your hotel, or at a shop in your neighborhood, for the nearest laverie libre-service: Où est la laverie libre-service la plus proche?

Once we found the laundromat, we learned the following terms:
Adoucissant = fabric softener
Assouplissant
= fabric softener
Assouplisseur
= fabric softener
Lessive = laundry detergent/washing powder
Machine à laver
= washing machine
S
èchoir = drying machine


We were able to wash our clothes for about 35 euros, which seemed pretty expensive to us.

We found a McDonalds next door to the laundromat, so we made a stop there to get a high-calorie taste of home. Food was almost identical, but there was no "dollar menu." Our meal cost us 65 euros.


With greasy food in our bellies, and clean clothes in our suitcases, we headed to the hostel to get some shut-eye and plan for tomorrow's exploration.
