17 - 18 June : Nice is Nice

Rain or Shine

Trippin'.
After a 14hour train ride plus 2- layover stops along the way, we finally arrived! And I could not believe our luck. The perfectly beautiful Riviera weather-- the famously sparkling Cote d'Azur blue-- gone; only to be clouded by gray drizzly skies and murky ruffled waters. With no signs of the weather getting better during our 2 day stay, we decided to make the most of it, gloom way or another.
Well rested the next day, we picked up some savory quiche lorraine and breakfast treats at a nearby patisserie. Thank goodness for the French and their pastries.
We lazied away most the day on beach chairs and somehow, missed the entire Old Town all together during our time in Nice. Simple traveler's mistake, better research next time.

Sleeping: Le Petit Trianon, 11 Rue Paradis, 33 4 93 87 50 46, is extremely friendly to the late night arrivals and conveniently located near the train station.
