I am pretending to be asleep here!11:39:54
In Paris, on the RER from Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon - I liked the use of "Twittant" here.13:13:46
Now on the TGV from Paris to the Cote d'Azur. In first class of course!
13:14:02
Chie with her tart from Paul.13:24:17
Chie and Erika could both fit on one seat.13:52:33
We bought this Barbapapa book (in French) in the station to read to Erika on the train. The pictures were nice but the story was quite stupid.14:41:02
...also a Miffy magazine.

In the buffet car on the TGV.15:10:40
Erika enjoying the scenery.15:57:38
We didn't bring the buggy with us this time so were worried Erika wouldn't have anywhere to sleep on the train - this did not turn out to be a problem.
16:00:29
She looks quite comfy wouldn't you agree?16:34:12
Erika's first glimpse of the mediteranean!16:34:21

Taking pictures of the scenery from the train never seems to work.18:28:52
At Nice we transferred to a different section of the same train as the bit we were on terminated there.18:42:07
Here I am in Nice station.18:42:15
...and with Erika in the foreground.

Finally we've arrived at Menton!19:20:28

Lunch on the terrace at, surprisingly, a vegetarian restaurant in Menton.20:31:57
We were the only customers there.20:36:18
...still we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless.20:54:44
My main course: soya "steak".
