Welcome to Nice
raleighsheffield:
Nice
raleighsheffield:
Dinner Saturday night in Nice
raleighsheffield:
Street in front of Hotel which goes down to the Mediterranean about 1.5 miles away
raleighsheffield:
And here is my hotel, right next to a KFC and across from McDonalds. It's actually a very tidy, but small room
raleighsheffield:
See the little balcony on the 4th floor on the side of the hotel. That's me!
raleighsheffield:
Dinner and wine, that was only a half bottle, was tasty. Since I can't stand the coffee here I've shifted my liquid intake to wine. Good decision
raleighsheffield:
Street area where I had wine, er, dinner
raleighsheffield:
Lovely area, the next morning this became the flower market
raleighsheffield:
Beautiful church about 3 blocks from hotel
raleighsheffield:
I said I wouldn't go to a McDonalds but it was right across the street. Had the best coffee since leaving my kitchen
raleighsheffield:
Same church in daylight
raleighsheffield:
Hard to see but here is H&M in this modest building. H&M is everywhere, often just blocks apart. Sort of like Walgreens
raleighsheffield:
Here is the restaurant area of night before transformed into the flower market
raleighsheffield:
Early morning fragrance
raleighsheffield:
Ok time to climb a hill to get a good view of Nice. Who needs a stairmaster when you have this. Took about 5 min to reach the top, stops for resting included
raleighsheffield:
Nice and the beach
raleighsheffield:
Bright eyed even after all that wine
raleighsheffield:
Nice, and it really is....nice
raleighsheffield:
Just an example of the architecture in Nice. Not typical French since the Italians occupied this part of France at one time. Italian border might be 50 miles east
raleighsheffield:
And the outside. We are still in Naples if anyone is lost
raleighsheffield:
Which one do you want? In Monaco
raleighsheffield:
Monaco climbing up the mountainside
raleighsheffield:
Reflection of the Casino in the concave mirror
raleighsheffield:
Rear of the Casino
raleighsheffield:
Hairpin curve on the course of the Monaco Grand Prix which is run this year the last week in May. Maybe I need to stay a few more days? No way!
raleighsheffield:
Front of Monte Carlo Casino. I waited for James Bond to arrive in one of the many luxury cars pulling in
raleighsheffield:
The Mediterranean between Monaco and Nice. Taken from the train
raleighsheffield:
Back in Nice. I really like this building. Buildings in Europe have such character
raleighsheffield:
Other side of the building
