Nice

Nice isn't such a great place but its advantage is access to the 'French Riviera'. And the avg temp was 38 deg C with 60% humidity. It was hot!

On my first day I went on an organised day trip to St Tropez. I saw Mohammad al Fayed, George Michael and many other millionaires homes' in 'millionaires bay'. We were told there was an open bar on the 3 hour cruise we took around the bay. That sold me. But what they don't tell you its the cheapest and crappiest beer they could find in all of France and the trip is potentially 3 hrs. We were on the water for 2 hrs. But hey, I've been to St Tropez.

The second day I caught a bus to Monaco. Went for a swim, tried to get into Monte Carlo but didn't have any ID (will do that the next time I'm there), walked up to the Palace, paid for a very expensive sandwich and walked the F1 circuit.

That night a group of guys wanted to redeem themselves not going to Monaco so we headed off to the casino in Nice. Unfortunately we got bounced at the door for wearing inappropriate clothes. What I don't understand is I could get into Monte Carlo wearing flip flops and wet pants. Go figure.
