Had a nice early start, heading to Nice today via Pisa. Was a little excited to see Pisa, had wanted to see the leaning tower for as long as I can remember. Got off the bus at the tourist bus park and we were over powered by all these darkies selling every cheap, tacky and nasty souvenir you could think of. They were unbelievable! Walked into the town for about 1 km then our guide said just round the corner we will get our first glimpse of the tower and sure enough we did. OMG it was amazing and the lean is just freaky. None of my pictures actually do the lean any justice whatsoever. Everyone was taking the traditional Pisa pic, some new ideas but all pretty normal. I never realized just how pretty the tower and surrounding buildings were, I thought they were just plain, 1 color but no it's lots of different colors and patterns. Beautiful. Got back on the bus heading for Nice and the French Riveria. There are 176 tunnels to go through when driving from Florence to Nice. It was a beautiful drive once we got to the Riviera. It was pretty normal until we came upto a corner and as we turned it there was Monaco, OMG so lavish and so much money sitting there right on the water for the world to see. Saw the palace where the Royal family live, drove the corner where Princess Grace Kelly died in the car crash, saw amazing homes. You couldn't keep ur eyes off the windows. Came into Eve, saw the church Bono got married in, saw the island Bono owns. On the 40 min drive along the French Riveria you just saw money money and more money. The roads were full of Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, jags, BMW's, Range Rovers, AUDI's, Porsche's, Surburban's, Hummer's - you name it I saw it! I was very impressed with this introduction to Nice :) Arrived into Nice about 5, got my room, chilled then met the group for a walk to the town for Gelatto - mmmmmm my choice this time was Rhubarb and Guava - yummo.......
