08:36:18 In St. Pancras. Erika's got the tickets. | 08:36:26 | 10:56:37 Erika in the buffet car on the Eurostar. | 11:23:38 On the Eurostar. |
13:37:58 In Paris now, lunch at a place near Gare de Lyon called Les Relais d'Alsace. Here's a picture of the bar. | 13:39:18 The giant (and very expensive) beer I ordered. This turned out to be more of a jug for pouring rather than the stein I thought it would be. | 13:40:30 Me and the large beer. | 13:42:40 The flammenkuche I ordered. Like a half hearted pizza, really. |
13:42:52 Chie and her French Onion soup. | 14:04:41 Yes we're in France. Doesn't it all look very French? What could be more French than large frothing tankards of beer? | 14:50:05 On the TGV to Nice now. | 14:54:54 Erika having a late lunch, as she was napping during ours. |
15:07:12 | 16:25:35 Me and Erika on the TGV. She's eating a tangerine. | 16:25:43 | 17:48:42 Chie and Erika playing with some modelling clay we got as a gift with a kids magazine I bought for Erika this morning. |
17:58:05 Must be pastis time! | 18:04:16 The three of us in the bar on the TGV. | 18:09:26 | 18:43:32 Our modelling clay animals - an elephant, an octopus and a rabbit. |
20:47:44 On arrival in Nice now. A bit late for Erika but remember in the UK it's not yet 8pm! | 22:01:30 Erika dozed off in her buggy, and it was a very warm and pleasant evening, so we went out for dinner at a Moroccan (I think?) restaurant called Alounak. Here's me there. | 22:16:41 Chie and her tagine. | 22:16:45 My vegetarian tagine. |
23:20:53 Me outside the Gare de Nice Ville. Our hotel was very close by. | 23:21:04 |
