We showered up after our day at the beach and walked around the shopping district a little bit before dinner. Unfortunately, we hungry by the time it came to picking a restaurant. This is never a good combination because Tina likes to look at 50 menus that have local specialties and Jared just wants to […]

We started the day with a trek down to the port area of Nice. We a got to see a variety of yachts and figure out which type we like best for when it came time for us to purchase our own. We never really thought of ourselves as boat people and we were right, […]

We were in need of a shower and some recharging when we got back to the hotel. Thank goodness we had a beautiful balcony that was equipped with an awning to block the hot sun. We enjoyed a few more beers and found our second wind. On our way to dinner we thought we would […]

Marisole picked us up and we were on our way to Monte Carlo to spend some time around the casino. On our way she drove us on part of the Grand Prix Course. It was absolutely nuts to know that drivers are going through there at top speeds, on break neck turns. They can easily […]

When she handed us a two brochures of places that the hotel was affiliated with, Tina was skeptical because she thought this would be a touristic restaurant. Tina likes to eat where the locals eat. We sat on […]

We felt refreshed an energized as we headed out of our hotel with not one, not two, but three maps in hand. We were not aimlessly walking this time around. Nice has a couple streets that are strictly pedestrian walkways, so we headed for these to take a walk and explore Nice. We found ourselves […]

Even with the plane leaving late we arrived in Nice, right on schedule. We took a cab to our hotel and dropped off the bags. We were feeling a little burnt out after the mornings festivities and after the fiasco last night so we decided to walk straight roads and find somewhere to eat. We […]
