During the August Exile, we went looking for the beach at Cap d'Ail, having been told it was nice and worth going to. Didn't find it. Did find a picnic area and a very windy coastline, with huge waves. (If anyone knows where we went wrong from the picnic area, do shout...)
Photos:
As part of the August Exile, I had to find things to do to fill up the day. One of them was pretending to be cultured and visiting the Musee d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain (MAMAC). You can go up on to the top and wander round, where you get some great views over Nice, and then we walked round through the exhibits til we found the way out. (The lift was dodgy; I don't recommend it.) Photos follow.
Nice:
(Yes, you might be right, this might have been better before Tuesday's post. Hush. I'm pre-caffeinated and covered in mosquito bites. I might snap at any moment.)
Anyway, some of the sights of Paris - you can find more photos here.
Pantheon:
One of those perfect evenings where even the weather cooperates. We went for dinner at a restaurant in Montparnasse round the corner from our last flat and then went for a walk back behind the Hotel des Invalides and along to the Eiffel Tower, where the sun was setting. The pictures nearly manage to capture the beautiful colours!
More pictures. I told you you'd miss the days of actual text and real things to say. Today's photos are from the first day in Paris, and feature our hotel and the Parc Montsouris, where we had lunch on that first day. Parc Montsouris has lots of ducks, which don't seem at all scared of people. Bastards.
More (proper!) Paris photos follow tomorrow, but I figured I might as well break them up and avoid overwhelming you. Not that most of you are interested in my holiday photos, I'm sure, but it's my blog, so tough. ;-) (More Day 1 photos can be found here, in case you're really a glutton for punishment.)
