Not much to say about the start of the trip to Paris. First to Billund then the plane at 12.20 to Paris.

1½ hour later I'm in Charles de Gaulle Airport. RER-train to the city and Gare de Lyon. A 100 meter walk to my hotel for the night, the Hotel Adriatic. Small room, but nice and clean. I'm staying here because it's close to Gare de Lyon and my TGV-train heading for Nice tomorrow morning.

There's time for a little sightseeing in Paris. I pass the Opera at the Place de la Bastille, and heads for one of my Paris-favourites - Place de Vosges. Then through Marais to Centre Pompidou and the shopping-area around Les Halles. Then back to Hotel Adriatic, where there's a football-match between Marsaille and Monaco on the TV.

Leaving Paris. A short walk to Gare de Lyon, where my TGV-train for Nice leaves at 8.50. It's fast - real fast - and before you notice the train is in Marseille. And here it doesn't even stop, it just slows down for a more normal pace along Cote d'Azur before arriving in Nice at 2.30.

Then I head for Maison Danice - the place I'n gonna stay. It's very central with a nice little aparment, with bath, kitchen and a little balcony.

Since I've got a kitchen my first duty is shopping. Milk, cheese, coffee etc - so I can make my own breakfast in the morning

Then it's time for a walk around Nice for a few hours. A walk along the Mediteranean sea, where I get lost at the end, and has to consult my map to get back - and another short wail in Vieux Nice, an old entertainment and restaurant-area. I buy my dinner at a take-away-joint - Phnom Penh - before going back to my apartment to eat.
