Warm??? in France??? in Winter???? thats not right!!!

Monaco Palace

Warm in France-in January, how scary!!!!

Nice

Luxemburg

Oscar Wilds grave

I have done some traveling in the last few days. My last day in Paris was spent going round cimetiere du Pere Lachaise, where many famouse people are buried such as Oscar Wild and Jim Morreson. I then caught a train to Luxemburg where I spent a day exploring the city of Luxemburg. As it was a Sunday it was a ghost town, no-one round, nothing open, misty and very pretty. It was also cold, and the ground was covered in ice in the morning. As a result I managed to fall down some stairs and bruise many parts of my body!!!

I then caught an overnight train to Nice, spent the afternoon exploring the city (was not as nice as I expected, quite dirty and run down looking), and then today went out to Eze and Monaco-both lovley places. Monaco is only tiny, covered it in a couple of hours!!! Was also nice and warm (Ok so 12 odd degrees and sunny counts as warm when you have had snow and freezing for several months) and spent a couple of hours in the morning just wearing a t-shirt-kinda scary but lovley!!!

Yeah, it was a fortified city, built on two sides of a ravine-absolutely lovely, would recomend it to anyone visiting. Pity about the casements, I'm sure they would have been amazing to see!
