So it has been around one week since i jumped on the big bird over to Nice, it took roughly 30hours of travel and it was all pretty average - exceptionally average in fact. Except for the Arab guy in Dubai airport with a suitcase full of duty free chocolates and other treats, that part was well above average on all accounts.
I have started to get a vibe for the place, and met a lot of cool people - each with their own story and background, but all here with the common goal of securing some form of employment on a super yacht. Staying in a trailer park in Biot, 2km down the beach from Antibes has actually been pretty cool. It is full of people doing the same thing as me, so it is a bit of a community, with most people willing to help you out (keep in mind most people are after the same jobs!).
It is generally a nice place, and my week long training course has been pretty fun, especially afterwards where our group going to the beach for sunset beers ha grown from 4 to 13 in 3 days. Thanks to twilight, these sunset beers last from 5pm through to 930pm. Splitting the carton means we get 4 hours of fun for the price of 4Euro.
Here are some photos i have taken over the last week - well I lie, i have only taken my camera out once, which was during my walk from Biot to Antibes on Sunday afternoon.
The last 6 months have seen me travel from Samoa to Iceland, Korea to Dubai and a bucket load of places in between, hands down my favourite part of this has been the people I have met - many of whom are now some of my best friends. Going by the last 6 days, it's hard to comprehend the amount of cool cats I will meet and add to this "list" in the near future.
