00/ My arrival in Nice!

Well well well...

I arrived in Nice on Saturday 5th August in the eve, after cleaning up the house, sorting out all my stuff, and by 2.30pm, jumped into Drey's van and waved goodbye to the house, Sheila, Cyrille, and Mess (who escorted me on his bike to the end of the street). Emotional...

So I landed in Nice airport and was picked up by Pascal and Celia , thank god for that as I had my TANK (bike) with me... And then we went to where Pascal, Amalia and their beautiful daugther Ella

live: very very beautiful countryside, on top of the Var valley in Cros d'Utelle..kinda looks like this:

(FACT: the drummer of CAN lives down there by the river where I went for a swim...yup)...

Amalia is a complete nutter! (I aint got pictures of her yet) But a good one! We did so much stuff in 4 days: hiking, climbing (well: i watched her fly on the climbing wall), canyoning with Pascal


(here is his website if you ever want to go throw yourself in rivers in South of France: CAMP 4),

and VIA FERRATA with Alex (Amalia's bro) and Ama: this is the route we took

and this is how it looked like (I grabbed those from tha Net, as i didn't have my camera yet):




Yup it was high!
