Coastal Glam'whore
After the slight let down from my high expectations of Italy we went to France, a place where I really didn’t have any expectations at all. We came in through Morocco (the smallest country in the world if you didn’t already know) and arrived at our first stop, Nice! (No that isn’t a typo for all you unworldly wordsmiths, its pronounced Niece)We didn’t book any accommodation for Nice and had to find a net cafe to find some accommodation. Nice was another quite expensive place to stay and we ended up going well over our budget for the 3 nights, which sucked ass because it meant skimming on food and fun. :(
Nice was a really nice place (heavily excuse the cheesy pun), it had a big ass tram line running down the main city centre, was very clean and vibrant and had a nice coast line.
We used Nice as a base to go see Cannes which was about an hour and a half train ride away. Cannes is home to the Cannes International Film Festival and is pricayyyyyyyyyy!!! Cannes was really nice, and if you’re female and want to do some mid to high-end clothes shopping, this seems the place for it!
We also went to a place called Phoenix park, which ended up being like a mini zoo that was unfortunately in revamp mode, so most the exhibits were off limits and the "Australia" section was a disgrace to our country hahaha.
Because of the expense of our accommodation we were eating 70 cent bullshit canned meals for 2 nights as our main meal... well I was, Suzie was eating cheese crackers. So on the last night, I was heavily over it and needed a sit down meal, so we found somewhere semi affordable and I ended up having the local speciality, fish stew. Which was offfff theeee chaaiiiiinnnnnn!!!!!!! So good!
We had to get a train to Barcelona and it got delayed by 3 hours because a train broke down blocking all these other trains (This was our 3rd delay using the French rail system of more than 2 hours, the first 2 were because of people topping themselves on the tracks). But in France when they something is delayed, they get straight down to the point....
