This morning we had a big breakfast in the marquee at the camp site. The. Bec walked us down to the train station at 8.45am. We had decided to go into Nice. We passed Marine Land, the water world and a carnival on the way. There seemed to be a lot to see and do just on the way to the train. I wish we had an extra day here to have a better look around, but it's off to Florence tomorrow. The trains were so packed with people! I can't wait to be able to drive again....

Today was another driving day. Today we left Lyon for the French Riviera. Driving days basically consist of spending the majority of the day on the coach sleeping and listening to music. We have to stop every two or three hours because of Alex's driving hours so we get a couple of 30-45 minute breaks during the drive. So when we have a driving day my blog entry won't be very exciting. When we drove into the French Riviera we were all blown away. It really is a pl...

I've fallen in love with the Beaujolais Wine Region. It is the most beautiful place. Dad, you would love it here. You're away from everything and the country side is stunning. It's 4pm and we're on the way to Lyon. We should between 5pm and 5.30pm. I'm really sad to leave this beautiful place. Will definitely come back one day. Today we went for a 45minute walk up a hill to have a French picnic at the top. The view was incredible. We sat on the grass in the sunsh...

I'm on the coach at the moment. We're not too far away from the Chateau now. It's almost 5pm and we've been driving since just after 9am so it's been another long driving day. This morning we picked out which optionals we want to do. We've decided to do most of them. I've felt sick most of today. I think it's from the wine last night. I only had a couple of glasses, but it was so horrible. Have decided to avoid wine for the rest of the trip. I'm really looking fo...

Today we were taken into central Paris on the coach at 9am. We needed to use an ATM to draw out some Euros so got dropped in the main shopping street (will find out the name of the street when we get to the Chateau). Then we went into Zara and Quicksilver. I bought a lace top from Zara and Paul bought a new hoodie. From there we headed down the to the Eiffel Tower. The queue for the lift was crazy so we lined up to climb up the stairs. I'm not the best with heigh...
