Ello Ello . Today was the first day of my 2 and a half month tour across Europe. Other than my bag getting lost by the airline the traveling went pretty smooth. I was really hoping I could see a GT-4 driving around today but no luck, maybe tomorrow . For anyone from London I am staying at a hotel on Dorset Square just off of Baker street. Tonight I am going to go down to Picadilly, the hotel manager told me that was a fun place to visit late at night. Any other recommendations?

dude..your gonna love Nice. Such good food, great little city. If you want one killer Donair Kabob, theres a place on Rue de France near where it starts, second intersection down heading east, called Queen Kabob...soooooo freaking good. Also if i were you i would take like 40 min *if you have a car or rent one* and drive to Monte Carlo. The drive is absolutley beautiful. Ill see if i can get a map and out line some of the great places to eat/go in Nice.

Was just in London this weekend, alas I'm back up north now! Go to Covent Garden! If you like Thai food, go to Busaba Eathai in Soho, its on Wardour Street.
Hope you're not staying over in Naples, it's a Sh#thole! (or it was when I was there a couple of years ago!) This post has been edited by Racer_J: Jun 4, 2007 - 6:28 AM -------------------- |

NP man....Nice is an awsome town, its nice and small, but cool place. Also if you got time, go to St. Raphel and Cannes...they r only about 40 min by train away. St. Raphel has amazing beaches and some cool boat tours for around 20 euros that go from St. Raphel to Nice or Cannes. Also Cannes has alot of really nice places to do.
Heres a quick video from an old church and fortress on a hill near the threater in Canne looking out to the Med. |
