The morning sun cast a golden hue over the pristine city of La Rochelle, Zain, and Rizi, accompanied by Captain Evan, Zack, Francesco, Baldie, and the rest of the group, gathered for breakfast at the hotel buffet.
The tension from the previous night's prank attack had dissipated, replaced by an air of camaraderie and anticipation for the day ahead.
As they approached the expansive buffet spread, their senses were overwhelmed by the tantalizing aroma of freshly prepared Aquitanian cuisine. Sea salt-crusted perch glistened temptingly under the warm lights, flanked by platters of hot oysters from Charente and steaming bowls of mussels which are widely popular in La Rochelle.
The centerpiece of the table was a magnificent seafood éclade, its creamy sauce bubbling invitingly as it nestled among an array of crusty bread and savory side dishes.
