Nice was nice. Except, once again, the area we were staying in. Pretty seedy. Although, to it's credit, it was a pretty easy walk to the "old town" and the aussie bar that we watched the italian match in. Don't talk to me about it. we were so gutted...
Some great beaches, some great rollerblading stunts along the boardwalk (these guys were seriously PROFESSIONAL!) and some good friends. Met some random aussies and spent some time with them dinnering, shopping, etc. Oh! And there was a *great* chicken shop around the back which did a *mean* grilled chicken. In case you haven't realised, I'm eating my way 'round europe. :D
Oh, and went to Monaco for a few hours. Odd place. I have never seen so much money in the one place at the one time. Yachts galore, cruise ships, people walking 'round with personal minders who carry their shopping out to their flash cars and hold umbrellas to keep the sun off them. Sadly, I was a *little* under-dressed to enter the casino for a gawk - sadly, it also had a 10E door charge which I was most unwilling to pay. :D The coastline is absolutely gorgeous and i was very tempted to just pop off the train at the numerous stops between Nice and Monaco - just for a little dip in the beautiful ocean or a laze on the beach.
