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.

Chie and Erika playing with some modelling clay we got as a gift with a kids magazine I bought for Erika this morning.

Must be pastis time!

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.
