Once we finished up our world wind tour of sightseeing in Paris we decided it would be a good idea to head south for a little rest and relaxation in Nice, down on the French Riviera. We spent in total four nights there, and really was a nice change to pull out the shorts, put away the jackets and enjoy the warm weather. Our place was located about a block or two from the beach and close to the old town, quite the location as it turns out compared to other hostels in the city, which made it easy to get around on foot. The first day we had there we hiked up to one of the highest spots in Nice on the coast, from there we could get quite the view of the whole city and the coast, as you can see in the shot we got below.
Day two we took a bus in to Monaco to check the city out, see the Casino and all the other ridiculous things with in the city, quite the place. Joel and my self even got in a little time to do some window yacht shopping, and check out some of the obscene boats in the harbors there. Unfortunately most were a little out of our price range, so we decided to stick with the 2 euro bottles of wine and call it a night.
Day three in Nice we took it pretty easy, mostly deciding where we were off to next (which turned out to be Barcelona) and relaxing on the beach, which we hadn't yet had the time to fully enjoy. That night we treated our selves to a nice thanksgiving day dinner out on the balcony of our hostel, which mainly composed of a pre-cook chicken, some cous-cous and a nice french baguette. Needless to say both Joel and my self agreed it wasn't like any other thanksgiving day dinner we had experienced before.
