It was fun to just be able to ask around, see what people were enjoying about the city, and then just do that! Following this formula, Becci and I headed on a hike on Tuesday morning... and by hike, I mean we climbed a bunch of stairs. We were met with a breath-taking view.
Becci had a beach that she wanted to check out next, so I tagged along... why not go see a new beach?! We were there for about thirty minutes and then we decided that there were definitely better beaches, so I consulted my map for the first time yet.
I will say, this beach was awesome, because as you can see, there wasn't really anyone else there. We figured this was most likely because they were at better beaches, so a five minute train ride later, we ended up here...
Oh, and I got a baguette because we were in France, and I was hungry.
It was such a relaxing afternoon. Reading, swimming, listening to music... while on the French Riviera? I didn't want to leave. But, Oh, the next stop was Monte Carlo, Monaco? I mean THAT I could get up for.
A few fun facts about Monaco... (I'm passing this information on because I was in Monaco thinking it was another city in France, realizing only after an hour that it is indeed a country.)
Monaco has an area of 2.02 km2 (0.78 sq mi)
It is the second smallest country in the world (after Vatican City)
30% of the 36,000 residents are millionaires
So there were yachts
and there were Ferraris
and then there was me...
It was truly spectacular. From Monte Carlo we headed back to Nice, where we naturally hit up the super market for some cheese, bread and wine. Before consuming this, I decided what better place to go for a run than the French Riviera?
I could train for almost any distance if I could run here every day!! Perfect view, nice breeze...
It was then time for dinner.
I also made myself a salad because sometimes when you're traveling, you pause for a sec and realize that you just need to eat a vegetable.
