Plane, trane, automobile - revelation from my European trip 2012

This European trip could be the most costly but the harsh trip I have ever had.

1. Got to pay for a premium economy class but almost got forced to downgrade to economy due to overbooking, but the economy class was full when I first tried to book the tickets 4 months prior to my travel. Ain't it ridiculous of this BA system for luring me to buy a premium economy ticket!

2. Flight engine problem that we were diverted back to the docking bay from the runway. That took us another tough afternoon to wait and wait.

3. Seeing so many people reporting their stuff being stolen or robbed and a long line at the police station.

4. Strike strike strike... shops closed, bus stopped. Almost couldn't get back home in time. Seeing people getting so awkward for a taxi to leave.

I feel like watching the movie "Plane, train, automobile" (starring Steve Martin).

Leaving Cote D'Azur, Southern France

The last night in Cannes became very peaceful. I recalled the first day in Nice. Here is a retrospective....

1. the open market opened til noon time.

3. Ocean front cafe.

5. Yellow as the flower in contrast to the aqua blue sea and the sky.

6. All these photos show the glamourous time of this coast of the blue.

10. Got on a TGV from Nice to Luxemburg which would stop by Cannes, but got off for another shuttle train for a faster departure. The seats are really comfortable with a classic business class declining angle.

Cote D'Azur, Nice, France (coast of the blue)

Nice, Southern France

1. Every time I saw Nice Airport, it made me feel so warm - sunny, breezy and by the sea. Really links me to this blog title, in the sea, in the sky and in the sun!

2. Leaving Nice Airport and a bit further up is Nice Downtown. Shall go there next year for a day.

3. the French Alps.

Nice, Southern France

Haven't been to Nice for about 6-7 years. It has changed a bit but still it's just as its name "nice". Walking around in Nice, dropping by the market is already a relaxing pleasure. Look at the blue water of the Mediterrean Sea - so blue. Usually taking a tour to Nice is my first day arrival at Cannes. I took a train to Nice for a half day walk and then back to Cannes for a good night rest before the next day hustling.
