Nice, France

We had a short stop here in Nice, and the main thing that we were excited about was that we got to eat french pastries again!! And yes Weasy, we did have chocolate croissants and they were delicious!! Actually we had them for breakfast both days we were here! There is not alot to Nice really. It is full of shops, Casinos and beaches. Us being the true backpackers we were chose the cheapest option and headed for the beach, well actually another stoned water front but these ones were much more comfortable than the ones in the Cinque Terre. Smaller, much nicer for laying around all day. Which is exactly what we did for 2 whole days. So relaxing. We didn't manage to get in the water because although it was beautiful and sunny, the water was really cold.

We also went to the Modern Art Museum here to see some Roy Lichtenstein who I really like, and it turns out they only had 1 of his works and it wasn't even one I recognised! Lucky it was free on the day we went. I felt very ripped off! We went for a walk through the Old Town, which Mrs Jucha had highly recommended. And rightly so. It was all these little winding streets which were filled with cafes, shops, restaurants and most importantly for Liz, creperies. They were pretty good I have to admit, as even I had one although Lizzie finished mine off as it was too sweet and just way too much pancake for me!
