Well, I'm sitting in my holiday apartment in Nice. I was up at 3am, but the trip was very smooth, apart from the fact that I forgot to bring my prescription sunglasses, and left a scarf behind, probably in the executive lounge. Still, I've had it for two years. Another trip to FCUK to see what this year's colour is!
The BA queue at Gatwick was fairly bad. Or perhaps it was the standard Virgin queue. There were also significantly more people than usual in the Easyjet queue. Rock on Speedy Boarding. Worth every penny!
The plane also had only three cabin crew, which meant that they were restricted to 150 passengers (must have been galling for Easyjet with BA on strike!). That in turn meant that the middle seat on my set of three was "out of use". I'm winning all round here, I thought.
Oh, and when I arrived, the sun came out. Quickly up to 18 degrees. Magic.
I set up the computer to make sure the Interweb was working, made a quick trip to Monoprix for provisions, and then had a nap. Perhaps I should have had a nap first, because I bought a pizza. And this apartment doesn't have an oven.
It's a smaller place than last November's, but it has a terrace, and it's smack in the Vieux Ville, which I think I prefer to the "west end" of the other place. Oh, and it has a bath rather than just a shower. Six and two threes about which I prefer overall. The other would be better to LIVE in, but I think that this is a better holiday apartment.
One thing though ... it's a lot of steps! The fifth floor is a bastard in an old building with no lift! But I like it.
