11 May 2012 FRANCE - UK - SPAIN Friday

Yikes, this day definitely goes down as the biggest travel day yet!

Into the taxi in Nice, bright and early, onto the aeroplane for Paris - so far so good.  What was meant to happen next, was the train to Gare du Nord for Mum and Keith, and Challe de Gaulle for Al and I.  Alak and alas, what actually happened, was no train service!!  Not to worry, there is a bus service in it's place (bearing in mind we are all traipsing up and down stairs, escalators and electronic gates with all our luggage), we eventually find the bus stop - along with hordes of other travellers.  We decided, sensibly, to miss the first bus and wait first in line for the next one - well there's an education for you!  No such thing as manners in Paris, not even with Mum and Keith in line - it was atrocious.  Nevertheless, we got to the Eurostar platform for Mum and Keith and Al and I made our way to Challe de Gaulle airport to head for Madrid.
We arrived just in time for dinner at 100Montedito's which was pretty authentic in a local setting with little Spanish to help us along.
