Car!?

Are you serious?

Around 1300+ KMs.

Do not forget the peage.

My advice: Just take the trains or fly.

Have you seen the price of trains and planes?

Sure. I flew to a few tour gigs in the past few days. Just look a bit more.

Did I mention trains?

I also felt the fatigue of driving all day, especially after the concert(s).

Especially when you are driver in the wrong side of the car in a right hand drive country, beware.

I tell you because a BMW of the wrong side drive almost crashed us into the left side of the highway on our way to Roskilde by just steering to the left when we were next to them. (somewhere in Denmark it was, I believe)

There are no flights to nice by easyjet, sold out. ryan air dont go there, BA are taking the piss.

Alternative airports in france are just as bad.

.

train works out at over £800 for two. (london to nice).

So apart from hitching, going by car is the only way.

Weird that we can do e.g. Geneva to Vienna for 89 CHF.

(~1000 KMs?)

Or Brussels Nice by plane for less than 85 euros single trip.

I guess it is bad timing.

If you still go by car: please leave a day early so you can rest.
