Nice

It took me more than 18 hours, but I finally made it to Nice. I got about two hours of sleep on the way, and when I landed it felt like when you try to pull an all nighter but then you take a nap from 2am to 4am and it's disgusting when you wake up. Just the same, there's not much that can keep you from noticing the beauty of the côte d'azur.

My hostel is a converted monastary, and after a shower I took the tram to the downtown. For dinner I stopped in a Casino (which is a grocery store, to clarify) and bought a whole wheat baguette and fresh thyme and citrus flavored goat cheese. Which I consumed completely on the steps of the plaza in the city center. I then made my way to the beach, just as the sun was setting and the moon was rising, and all these colors were reflecting on the ocean. Or, Mediterranean Sea, rather.

But enough with the words. Let me just show you:

Today at noon I'll be taking a train to Toulon. Thanks for the tips on getting the carte 12-25 Natasha! I will make sure I have a photo.
