NICE

Well Nice is nice :) Last night we had a Pasta party so for 2€ we had unlimited pasta and red wine, we didn't go to crazy but definitely got our moneys worth. Went next door, mingled and had a few drinks but was in bed again by 12.  Met up with Bec and James( a couple I met in Florence) at 9 in the foyer for our trip back to Eze. Caught the bus back because apparently the scenery is amazing.  It was. Arrived at the base of the hill a bit to early for the bus up to the old village so took a walk down to the beach, more amazing homes, this place just oozes money. Caught the 11am bus up and wandered the streets of the old Medieval town, it was outta this world. Saw a building with the date stamp 1872, 200 years before I was born.  Went and had a close up of the church Bono got married in, stunning. Wandered around shopping and just taking in the views.  Had a tour of the perfumery Fraganards at 2.15. Interesting, best part was at the end when we smelt all the perfumes and spent a small fortune there. Got back to the hostel around 4.30, I went to have a shower but crashed in my bed, didn't wake til about 6, took a walk down towards the beach but stopped at the Gelatto shop on the way and got a Cactus/beer/cola one this time, OMG the flavored were unreal, cactus was nice but freaky, beer was corona and coke just coke. They all tasted so real. I sat at the beach and watched the sunset while listening to a group of drummers just play away for over an hour. It was so nice, it gave me time to write my last 2 blog entries.  I have been a bit slack but now so upto date again. Left the beach about 9 and slowly walked back just watching the people and buskers. It was so beautiful.  Nice is very pretty by night. Next day we took off into Monaco pretty early, this place just oozes money, every second car is either a Maserati, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche, Rolls Royce or a Bentley. I mean for gods sake I ever saw a Ferrari Station Wagon. Who is that rich that they get a station wagon for the choice in the Ferrari range. The boats in the harbor were massive, all with spas n gyms on board. It was pretty cool just walking round seeing all the pretty things.  Saw the most amazing necklace in a shop front of Channel I think it was. Spent the best part of the day strolling the streets, saw the Royal Palace and the the casino. It was so hot we had to leave, we needed the beach back in Nice. Got back and spent a bit of time at the beach, sick of the rocks, looking forward to the man made beach in Barcelona if only for the feel of sand between my toes.  Had another Gelatto on the way back this time it was Poppy and one with Jube Lolly's in it. Poppy tasted a bit like strawberries n cream.  Went back and packed didn't even make it out for food, was so tired I just crashed.  Off to Barcelona in the morning.
