Stroud to Swindon

Got here very early. Train to Swindon, then to Bristol, then bus to airport, then plane to Nice.
Fingers crossed that my Easy Jet under-seat compliant bag is actually the right size.
Swindon to Bristol Airport

Now at airport and through security (my bag got diverted because of paints in my pencil case - oops). And still a fair wait. I managed to finish some homework for one of the courses I am doing andЧитать далее
Nice & night night

Have arrived. Tram was fine, though I think I validated the ticket wrong, or didn't validate it or something. But no-one checked, thankfully.
Lovely apartment in a beautiful old building with a veryЧитать далее
Morning(ish) wander round Nice

It's pretty warm here!
I slept in a bit and did some work before heading out, but had a nice wander, both along the sea and some parks and avenues further in.
Stocked up a bit on food and am backЧитать далее
Evening wandering round Nice

Gets dark so early, which just feels wrong when it's been 20°C during the day. Was lovely walking along the Promenade des Anglais watching what people are doing at that time of day. Back at theЧитать далее
Afternoon wanderong in Nice

Worked until about 1pm and then had lunch and headed out. Went to the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, but got there quite late so a lot of rooms were shut for a gala. I bought the Nice museumЧитать далее
Early and later evening in Nice

And then I hung around in the old town because I had a ticket to the theatre and it would have taken too long to go back to the apartment and then walk back again. Had a galette with Roquefort andЧитать далее
Friday treat

Worked a lot today, but squeezed in a quick zip round the first floor of the Musée des Belles Arts and now enjoying some Crémant and a Millefeuille from the Patisserie and a movie on the laptop
Saturday

Got out and about earlier today, after a lie-in. Went and tried out the public transport and give my feet a rest and went to the Matisse Museum which I really enjoyed and included an exhibition ofЧитать далее
Menton

Took the train down the coast to Menton for a change of scenery. And now waiting for the train to take me over the border into Italy and then hopefully another quick train to Bordighera, which IЧитать далее
Brief wander in Bordighera

Ooh, I really liked Bordighera. Only had a fairly quick wander, but the buildings were lovely, and the sea, and lots of plants everywhere.
Last full day

And I spent much of it working. But also having last day (when I did my big trip it was last week) blues and wanting to be home already.
I have to fill a few hours tomorrow between check-out andЧитать далее
Down to the sea one last time

Managed to finish and send out a chunk of work and then pack and clean the flat before midday checkout. Then had a bunch of time to kill.
Old Nice

Used my time to have a really good wander in Old Nice. Love those winding streets. And I had a pizza and a beer before grabbing the tram up to the airport. (Now sat on the train home.)
