Here is a photo of us both at the beach in Nice on our last day travelling. A lovely way to end our trip and Blog posts. We are now at Nice airport getting ready for our journey home. We've had lovely weather here in Nice. While we could carry on, we'll probably do interrailing again one day and highly recommend it. See you all soon back in the UK! :-D
Picture from the view point up on Nice Château. Bit on the light side but the other picture shows it a bit better.
Off to Cannes shortly.
Today we have moved from our hostel to a studio apartment run by a nice older French lady.
Its worth saying she does not speak a word of English. This has been a lot of fun trying to have a conversation about payment and where things are. This tested our French but Amy is very quick and spoke quite well with her.
She is really nice and made us green tea when we showed up early.
After this we went to San Remo in Italy, which is a town just over the boarder, then we went to Ventimiglia on the boarder. We hoped to see a town market but we got lost and found the train station in time to head back to Nice.
We are excited to make our own bacon and eggs tomorrow! I realise this isn't the same kind of excitement as we have talked about before but it's a big deal to us.
After a long look at Barcelona and settling on somewhere to stay it appears the trains line at Marseille is closed and not open till Monday!
We've decided to stay in Nice and fly home from here Monday or Tuesday instead and go to Barcelona another time.
We will be taking the train to Cannes at some point as recommended by the nice waiter we met in a cafe on the beach.
The sun and blue skies so not really a bad place to end the trip. We will look at where else we can see near by via train so get some more use from our passes.
So we had a long day travel yesterday we arrived in Nice. It was over 9 hours in total with two changes. It rained so was a good day to travel. We were shattered so didn't get round to to the blog, and there wasn't much to tell.
However today we briefly looked in a Nice and it was really pretty and then we enjoyed a really sunny day in Monaco.
And since the forecast is very good have decided to stay and extra day to see Nice.
However this mean another long trip on Saturday, but that's fine by us.
Not far from where we are staying is fancy water fountain square and what I can describe as a mist generator which made rainbows.
Monaco was a must see, they are currently setting up for the Grand Prix. Lots of seating and repairs in the area.
After Pisa, we ventured around the streets of Florence making our way up the many steps to Piazzale Michelangelo where we looked over Florence in amongst the hills and waited for the sun to go down. Little did I know that Matt was planning to propose. We got engaged and drank processco as the city of Florence lit up infront of us. What a wonderful end to our venture in Italy. :-D
