Thursday in Nice

Today we took a train to Nice, which was relatively easy after we found a nice French gentleman who just loved Australia to help, us with the ticketing machine.  The station was huge, and he told us to go the middle of the platform.  When the train arrived we realized why.....that is where the train pulled in.

Once we arrived in Nice, we walked through the Main Street to the beach, passing this fountain, and a  water playground on the way.  Both the boys bought a shirt each, and Kath purchased a lovely Desigual bag.  There are lots of shops of course, and many souvenir places to buy as well. 

The beach consisted of large pebbles, but that did not stop people lying on it.  It must have been quite uncomfortable.

After lunch at an Irish pub, we strolled back to the train station for the ride home.  The buildings in Nice are all colored very lightly, and very attractive.  It's a nice town, and we all agreed we would be happy to visit again some time.  

Dinner this evening was at the hotel restaurant, dining outside, and overlooking once again  the Mediterranean Sea.
