Nice is nice!

 Day 22-25

Ok, so I caught up with Mark again on my finale day in Paris, we were going to chillax in a park, but it decided to be shit weather again, so instead we did a quick walk through Luxembourg Gardens, and found the closest Cafe to relax and Mark was starving for choco croissants and coffee. We checked the Notre Dame Cathedral inside and out, and had some yummy Italian.

I then started my travel to Nice, and upon arriving to my new hostel, the place was alive with the sound of music! I was shown around, and I was in a shitty mood to begin with, but there were people everywhere, the music was pumping, and the room absolutely smelt like curry.

The next morning, in a much better frame of mind, I took the shuttle down into town to catch a bus to the Village Eze. I met Mo from Amsterdam on the way and he decided to join me. He's a crazy guy, kind of going through a quarter life crisis, and he's loving being free from work and life in general. Quite a motivating guy really, I enjoyed hanging out and chatting with him.

The small Village Eze is so incredibly gorgeous, a big cliff that spikes out of nowhere, revealing a small medieval type village. The walk is steep, but when you reach the summit its totally worth it. You pay €5 to walk through a cute garden which has the best views ever!

After our walk around we grabbed some olives, cheese and bread and made a mean lunch. And caught the bus to Monaco, about 10 mins away.

Monaco is its own country apparently, and it has the Monte Carlo Casino, that is ridiculously beautiful and the cars outside show how expensive and rich the area must be. Also the harbour holds some of the nicest yachts and boats I’ve ever seen. It must be really cool to get a job aboard.

The coastline is very pretty the whole way along the coast.

The hostel I stayed at, is actually really cool, it is definitely a place to party, the whole common room could turn into a dance floor, its continuously packed with people, there's about 15 free computers scattered around, and a massive bar to accommodate your thirst.

They have a dinner each night, and bloody hell it's amazing! I ended up having a few drinks and chatting to a few Americans.

The next day brings rain, and heaps of it. I manage to make friends with this guy called Josh from Canada, there's so many Canadians and Americans travelling! We take the bus up to Eze again, and find the coastal path down to the beach, and as we get there it starts pissing down, so of course its beer o'clock. Annoying really. We walked for ages more checking all the beaches, and got so cold that all I wanted to do was go home and shower!!

The 3^rd day in Nice turns out to be sunny. I take off with my ipod and walk around the coast to find heaps of cute little coves and beaches. I swim and sunbathe at pretty much every beach I walk past, and then walk the main path to the bus and flop out at home, unable to move!!!

I wish I had more days in Nice, totally a place I will revisit.
