Having problems!

Sorry for the late posts, some reason until today the blogs wouldn't post, but hey it's some reading material! And a big hi from me and Tammy to everyone at home!

Nice - 23/09/2014

Got up this morning and today was a day around Nice, we went to see the Massena Museum. This was closed for some reason but the gardens were still open so spent some time walking round them. We then went to to the Nice Cathederal but on route I couldn't resist this!

Strawberry Cheese Cake and a Nutella  Chocolate Wafer Ice Cream, sooo nice!

After munching the Ice Cream we went down the side streets.


At the local market we arrived, took a wander got some airiel views of the market after finding some steps to the roof beside a resteraunt. Then went through the aches to find we was at the sea front. 

Take in the views...



After chilling out at the beach we carried on to some more gardens with a carousel and some other random objects lol. Pictures to be sorted....

So what was left but to find a bar!

Hmmm wrong glass but who cares it's what was in it!

So yh that's Nice, well a small part off it. 

Tomorrow is the national park :)


We are here!!! 22/09/2014

And here we are in nice arrive around 6pm as had a few issues on route.

This was coming off the ferry in Calais, surprisingly a pleasant crossing, I tried to sleep but unlucky for me some guy was smashing the slots and all I could hear was music and sound effects! Ready for getting the stool and belting him! 

So the driving begins, having regular stops for stretches and loo breaks, we made it to Avignon. This was gorgeous, the pebble stoned floor, the Art Deco in the walls and the quaint balconys. I could have stayed all day.
But we had things to see, we went and seen the Palais des Papes, Avignon Cathederal and the Pont Saint Bénézet. I will feature pictures from these on my site www.jasonparnell.co.uk/gallery this will be available on time.

We then carried on after having a sandwich by the Pont Saint Bénézet.

When arrived in Nice, Oh My God! Wow! Was way bigger than I anticipated! After scrambling through traffic and making our way to the hotel, we get a wash coz man I stunk! Haha we hit just over 1000 miles already! Filled up 3 times, once in uk twice in France.

After a wash me and Tammy did the first thing on the list, find a bar! 1 Bud, 1 Black Russian and 2 Jäger Bombs.

Good Times!!

Few piks of the sea front at night.
