Eurorail 2002 - Photos from: Lyon, Antibes, Cannes & Nice... A 3 week escapade on Eurorail and night trains beginning in Amsterdam, then journeying through Paris to Lyon. After that, onto the Cote d'Azure through Marseilles to camp (and enjoy the "tent fever") in Antibes, Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo before riding the North Mediterranean coast to Barcelona. After that, a mother of a train ride through France and Belgium to land just back across the Southern border of the Netherlands again to revisit an old stomping ground: Breda. From there, a penultimate jaunt up to Bruges then home from Brussels.... phew!!... read more

Europe » France » Île-de-France » Paris May 3rd 2002

The final leg of our 2002 trip to Galipolli was a weekend in Paris. We travelled by bus from Nottingham and crossed under the English Channel in the tunnel. E had thought that we were going be ferry, but that was not to be. Learnt how to use the Metro, and went shopping, to the Louvre and markets, and walked along the Seine just as people were opening up their stalls. Return journey to UK uneventful, except by now it was clear the E suffered from claustrophobia in tunnels. She was glad to see the last of the Chunnel!... read more

Europe » France » Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur » Nice May 1st 2002

Given it was a Bank Holiday weekend (in Aussie terms a long weekend!), Tracy, Sarah and I decided to head off for the weekend. Given the number of budget airines, getting away isn't a problem.....more of a problem is working out where. We decided on Nice....why, I think mostly because its one of those cities in France you actually hear about...you know the French Riviara and all of that. So, Friday afternoon we flew out. I wrangled the opportunty to work out of e Stansted office, using the excuse of needing to get out and see the business. Anywy flew into Nice, couldn't get hold of Sarah and Tracy so ended up getting my own room. Had a chilled out Friday night, though eventually did ind them and we went for a walk along the Promenade. ... read more

Europe » France » Rhône-Alpes » Courchevel April 4th 2002

Happy Easter Everyone By now you would have all made it back to work (except for those lucky souls who are still on holidays) and be wondering no doubt how I go on in France. First things first.......I have never, ever seen mountains so big and I have never ever seen so much different terrain. OK here is a rough acount of the trip: DAY 1 - Meribel Valley We skied from about 11:00am to 4:30pm and were well and truly stuffed by the end of it. It was a day of reaquainting oneself with the two planks and getting to know the Mountain......this may sound dumb, but believe me if you ever go the France and ski Les 3 Vallees you will understand what I mean. The lift network is amazing and the amount of ... read more

Arrived in St. Milo by TGV and walked around for buses to Mont St. Michel. The life here is so quiet, just can't imagine what they do for killing time. Went to some of the shops there and nothing much interesting there. Mont St. Michel - great castle with some haunted tales! ... read more

Eiffel Tower, Paris, France On the top of the world famous Eiffel Tower during the freezing winter time! I guess the best thing about winter is less tourist and no long Q to get up to the top of Eiffel Tower. Mont Saint Michel, France Heard the castle is haunted... well, at times, it get quite creepy... read more

Europe » France » Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur » Saint-Raphael » Brugge December 6th 2001

I have actually had the chance to do this trip on two occasions - the first being in December 2001 and the send in December 2003 to enjoy the Christmas markets. Both times were great and involved spending lots of time (and money!) in various chocolate shops, bars and cafes in and around of the main Markt Square although we found a couple of great little bars slightly away from the main square, which we could have stayed in all weekend! I think Bruges is possibly one of my most favourite cities - it has that gorgeous medieval old towns that seem to have been lost in some of the bigger cities with a brilliant selection of restaurants, cafes and bars and much culture and history to go with it. We spent some time in the ... read more
