Aller, aller, aller!

(This should have been uploaded yesterday, having some blogging issues!)

Evening all!

Spent the day in Monaco after a wander through some of the other areas of Nice that we hadn't seen. Met up, by pure chance, with the Aussie couple from our dorm and went around
with them - true travelling banter!
From the pics you can see we experienced the Formula 1 side of the principalitie as well as the cultural side.

Our own made Brie and ham baguettes were on the menu, eaten overlooking the port from the Palais headland. Now we're back on Nice soil enjoying a Grimbergen (a weiss beer with lemon zest and slice. Greeny; think barefoot radler!)

Gonna have some food then more beers on the beach later,

Ciao for now

Penforth, my good fellow.

Wow, three posts in one day. Just a short one to say the inevitable trip to the beach was different. It's rammoed on there; tiny, pebbly, and sprawling with some of most beautiful people on gods green earth.

We returned to the hostel to try and fathom the needlessly complex inter-rail reservations system, but failed. Now we,re making the most of Les Distilleries Ideales happy hour!

Don't get too jealous just yet, there's plenty more to come.

First Contact

Time to change the record: Nice is breathtaking, literally stunning. We had a bus ride to the hostel, got our barings pretty quickly, spluttered some C grade GCSE Francais, and found ourselves on the balcony of Brasserie l'eden supping 1664 which tastes like it may have come from The Brewery of Eden... That's Joke Nombre: Une!

Anyway, hostel is ideal, little old-town, back alley charmer. Met a swedish lad who has allayed my security fears with his friendly chitchat.

Things for you to look forward to: we're playing with the ideas of hiring bikes for an exploration expedition (dad, exhibition), going on a tour into the Med, and a day meandering the streets of Monaco.

Au revoir!

Le jour grande!




Knackered, absolutement!

Woke at half 4, flying at half 7 and should be in Nice (26 degrees C, ahem) by 10:40 local time. Not sick of each other yet, bonus!

So far it's been a text book approach, and nothing really to report ... as you can tell.

We'll chat soon
