Road trip to France - picture heavy
Saturday afternoon myself, Stupot67 and Smartbear headed down to Southern France on a road trip.

The first night was spent in Nimes
[IMG]http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh5 ... h9iqah.jpg[/IMG]
The next day we were meant to do the long drive down to Gap however as the weather was terrible there he chased the sunshine and headed for Nimes instead and 500 miles later..

Today we headed along the costal road around Cannes before heading to Monaco

Now that looks more fun than a wet bank holiday in Cornwall. Good to see you managed to park within the lines in a least one of those pics.

Today I moved to the French Alps which are whiter than normal due to an unusually heavy snowfall a week or so ago which has closed a few roads and peaks! None the less, what a place....

I didn't fancy carry on up this for another 1000 plus feet
[IMG]http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh5 ... labmnv.jpg[/IMG]
So I stupidly took this road instead..

No mate, they couldn't keep up with the M power
We missed out on the Alps at the beginning of the trip due to bad weather. They went to Milau this morning as planned and headed north but I wanted to see the Alps so running solo for the last couple of days before heading home
