Kicking it in the South of France

---

Well after a 36 hour trip we finally arrived in Paris two days ago. Stayed in a dodgy hotel and got our rental car. We drove to Troyes on Sunday and took in the amazing sights of the 600+ year old buildings. Did 600km yesterday - which is great fun on the 4-8 lane french highways where even the cops honk at you to get out of the way if you are too slow! Freddy the 1.6 litre Ford Focus has been chewing up highway at breataking speeds (we travel at 100 and the french usually sit just above the limit of 130). We are in Nimes for the next couple of days and will be heading to Marseille after that. Well that's all the time we have on this session in the internet cafe - its 28 degrees and time to find a pub and have another beer. Life is hard, really hard, but we will survive.

How do they not just fall down? There's not a straight line to be seen!
