Pretty much all you need to know is that Nice is more than nice its AMAZING!!! We stayed in a cute little hostel/hotel that was located right on the beach. We knew that the sun would break our appetites a little bit so for the last 2 and half days we lived on 2 loaves of bread, nutella, and strawberry jam (i know what you're thinking.."Bread and Jam, Bread and Jam!!"). But it has worked out quite nicely because we spent the majority of our days on the beach and trying to catch up on sleep. We spent our first 2 nights burning up because on night #1 our AC broke and we were on the 5th floor with only one window...Andrè was in his underwear again, the 2nd night we had a fixed AC but an annoying the same old Canadian man...aka Andrè...decided to turn it off at 2am because ''fresh air tastes better for sleeping, eh?'' or that's what he said anyway (adam and andrew could relate this guy to Carl, yes he was that horrible!!!). It didn't really matter how much we slept because we just relaxed all day on the French Riviera! The water was just gorgeous and you could see straight to the bottom of the ocean floor. We watched all the french people, tryed to avoid all the old naked women and their speedo husbands, and laughed at the kids who were parasailing because they were having so much fun, it could only put a smile on your face. We spent our nights walking around the city and listening to old men play the accordian while watching all the rich people eat their pasta and drink their enormous glasses of French wine. We walked along the promenade as the sun began to set and watched all the locals fish, roller blade, or run as if training for a triathlon. As it began to get dark we would sit on the beach and share drinks as we laughed about this crazy adventure we've been on. We told stories about our past and laughed about missing home and the comfort of a bed that was big enough for the both of us. We had a late night last night becaue we kind of lost track of time but we luckily didn't oversleep our alarm and got up in time to make it to the train station by 7:30am. We planned to make a reservation for the 10:20am train to Barcelona but they only allow a certain number of Eurail Passholders to board the train and it was overbooked. We kind of freaked out but went to plan B which was to hop on a train to Montpellier and take the train to Barcelona tomorrow morning. Now we are in the process of trying to find a place to stay for the night and are contemplating sleeping in the train station or on the beach? Pray that we find a cheap hostel because that would be ideal!
