Even though muffins/croissants/pain au chocolats are a tasty breakfast, they’re not exactly filling, but it’s difficult to find anything else in France if you eat out. But, not in Nice! During our morning walk we discovered numerous cafés that did ‘English breakfasts’, which meant: omelettes. So indulged in a relatively scrumptious ‘English breakfast’ in the […]

Day 9: From Nimes to Nice via Avignon and Marseille
Hello fans, I will start with a photo of an awesome French conductor coz I think French conductors are cool, especially this one: Since we very much liked Nimes, we decided to spend the next morning exploring Nimes.

Day 2: Emirates Stadium&Ipswich!
HALLO PUMPKINS, Today we spent about six hours in trains. It’s a lot of time and something to get used to during the next weeks, but it went surprisingly well. I spent more or less a third of the trips asleep, a third playing Marble Saga (STILL ON THE SAME DARN LEVEL) and a third […]
French Dinner
A “test” entry about my cultural French experience. FRENCH DINNER 🙂 Once upon a time I had a French dinner. It was amazing. Unfortunately it happened to be the day I dyed my hair bright orange, and it felt a bit awkward entering the posh LE P’TIT NICOLAS restaurant with these two older French couples, into this large area that […]
