    FRÇa y est avons atteint le Cape Nord par grand vent.
    Paysages très sauvages c’est vraiment au dépaysement … Pour la bouffe, c’est autre chose. On ne peut pas tout avoir.
    À bientôt.
    grosses bises Jaky

    ENWe’ve finally reached the North Cape by strong wind
    Very wild landscapes, a real change of scenery … When it comes to food though, that’s something different. You can’t have everything.
    Until later.
    Big kisses Jaky
    Dominique

    Remarks

    Thank you again, family at rue Benoît Bunico and friends. I hope your trips went well.

    However, this handwriting was a bit annoying to me. The g looks like an f, “es” gets shortened to an s-like character, and several characters look like they could be a few things. You kind of have to read it quickly and start guessing at common sentence structures. I had to ask for help.

    FRLa Norvège : des fjords qui pénètrent très loin dans les terres, des lacs immenses, des cascades gigantesques, des sommets peu elevés mais enneigés. Mais aussi des forêts, des prairies et des champs de jolies maisons colorées. Bien sûr des bâteaux, et un autre mode de vie. Jaky

    Les norvegiennes sont pas mal, le pays est beau seul le temps depuis 2j nous boude enfin on verra. Dominique
    ENNorway: fjords that penetrate far into the land, immense lakes, gigantic waterfalls, peaks that are somewhat low but covered in snow. But also forests, prairies, and fields of pretty, colorful houses. Of course boats, and a different way of life. -Jaky

    Norwegian women aren’t bad, the country is beautiful only the weather hasn’t been great since 2 days but we’ll see. -Dominique

    Remarks

    This was sent to the same street as cards 2 and 3. Who are Jaky and Dominique? No idea, but that family from card 3 was living on the same street. They must have liked Norway.

    Two people on the postcard this time! They found the room.
