Ended up with a brand new apartment as big as our house for 39 Euro a night...fantastic.First night we wandered down to the main street near our apartment to find some dinner. Found what looked like a dodgey little cafe and had an awesome meal of tapas and paella followed up with a couple of litres of Sangria all for a measly http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Catalonia/Barcelona/blog-411867.html We signed up for the St Tropez cruise on the Bus yesterday thinking it would be a good afternoon. Unfortunatley it turned into 2 12 hours on the bus from Nice to Port Grimaud Frances' version of Venice then we got onto the boat which took us around to Millionares Bay which is where the likes of the Heinekin family Johnny Dep and The Hiltons have thier houses looking our over the water.We stopp http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Monaco/Monte-Carlo/blog-407790.html Got into Nice about 1730 and headed down to the Hotel Acanthe to drop our stuff off then headed down to an Irish pub for dinner and trvia with the Busabout crew. Had a great night the meals came on these massive plates that barely fit on the tiny little tables there were a couple of plates to go flying before the night was out. Had a couple of hours of Happy Hour which made the drinks somewhat http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Provence-Alpes-C-te-d-Azur/Nice/blog-407778.html Had our first real dissapointment for the trip today....we had to leave Lauterbrunen.We left Bern for Lauterbrunen about 520 last night and the drive from Bern to Lauterbruunen was where the real pretty stuff started. All the travel brouchers and pictures you see of Switzerland they come from here.As soon as we got into Jungfrau camping ground we dumped our bags at the little cabin we were assi http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lauterbrunnen/blog-407770.html Havent made up my mind about Paris yet...its very busy crowded a lot of homeless people and beggers and a lot dirtier tahn i thought. But in sayuing that there was also a lot of good things. We did an aweful lot of walking and along the way experienced some wornderful pastries and a couple of good sites such as the Lourve Eiffel Tower the Arc de Triumph and of course the Moulin Rouge. The Lourv http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-407767.html today started off with a bit more of a sleep in thank goodness..then we had to pack up all the stuff and start for our first big relocation after an hour or so of rearringing and re arranging again we got the bags closed but then we had to carry them.found a nice little cafe for breakfast and then headed for the tube. The tube is one of the maddest forms of travel i have ever taken but we got to s http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-407766.html Decided to try and take in a bunch of the sites of London today. Woke up about 4am goddam jetlag so thought we could get an early start.Made our way through Hyde park about 6am surprisingly there were a WHOLE bunch of freaks jogging and walking their dogs through the park at that hour.We made our way down to Bunkingham Palace past St James park then down to Big BenParliment house across West http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/Westminster/blog-407764.html We made a rather hurried dash from the hotel in Paris to the pickup point for the bus I call bullshit on the 4km google maps said it was. We got there dead on 8am to find a big blue bus with no one around. At least we werent late.Jumped on the bus and made our way out of Paris through the crazy Parisian traffic. Was good once we hit the express way and started heading through the farms and stuff http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Switzerland/North-West/Berne/blog-406144.html well we couldnt have asked for a more beautiful day.well first things first a big english breakfast for 4gpb they sure do know how to make a good breaksfast and bathy they took our plates away when we put pur knives and forks together very exciting.the we walked it off through hyde park where the local wildlife gave us a good porn show look at the photos and you will see what i meanthe we were http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/Camden-Town/blog-404134.html Well we had a bit of a stressful morning getting everything finalised but we eventually got to the airport. Jo Rob and Bathy saw us off and we had a drink then it was a little tearful goodbye and we headed up to the lounge.When it was time to board we went outside to join the queue and to our surprise there was our neighbours from Number 8 who were off to Singapore for a holiday. Perth is a s http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/Piccadilly/blog-403893.html Ok so its been a couple of months in the making and been counting down the days but the day is finally here and now we have the mad rush of getting everything finished including finish packing.So I should stop screwing around on here and go finish. http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Western-Australia/Perth/Victoria-Park/blog-403405.html
