La Fée Verte

Last night I visited Antibes very own Absinthe bar. I wish I had my own photos of it to post but I stupidly forgot my camera so I've stolen one of off the internet. I know that my Emily, Kathryn and Sam would actual love this place, so we are going when you come to visit!

The place is tiny, what you see in that photo is pretty much it. (I was told that even the toilet is only separated by a curtain - I was definitely not going to use it!) You seem to have to wear a hat in there, and I ended up swapping hats a few times, but eventually chose one of those ones with viking horns on it, i'm pretty sure it was a good look.
So we got there late, and it was in full swing. I've never had absinthe before, and got showed how to drink it 'properly' using the sugar, the spoon and the weird tap thing. We chose one purely on the name, and tried a white absinthe with a name something to do with fairies. Definitely wasn't my favorite drink but the atmosphere made up for it! There was a man playing requests on a piano, if only we knew the words to sing. It was a great experience and one which I will be visiting again in my time here. (I also read on the menu that they are only allowed to serve you a maximum of three drinks, it's that potent!)
Ooh, also, i'm currently writing from my new studio apartment in Antibes. Yaaay, i've moved!
