Nice
Greetings from the French Riviera! Or as Borat would say: "Nice is Nice..."
I am here for a conference in Cannes, but am staying in Nice and came a couple of days early to bum around and be a tourist.
It's been great so far. The weather is in the 60's and staying near the beach always agrees with me! I spent my free days walking around Vieux
Nice where there is a farmer's market, a house where Matisse lived and lots of little streets, tall buildings, shops and cafes. I also walked up and down the Promenade des Anglais-which puts the Strand to shame-and even dipped my toes in the Mediterranean Sea. The beach is ALL rocks, so I pocketed some for souvenirs...
So I am staying at this hotel that is like an upscale Best Western. The people are nice and the service is great, but it would be nice if things worked in the hotel! They don't have washcloths, they missed my wake up call and I have to jiggle the toilet to make it work among other things. I would have complained to the management by now, but I feel really bad about blowing the power in the hotel when I plugged in my hair dryer...
Mon Dieu!!!
