Ambling Ramblings #9- A Note from Nice

The French Riviera is certainly a place that I would love to come back to and visit for longer...the views of the deep and brilliant blues and greens of the Mediterranean, the snow capped mountains, red rocky outcroppings not the ocean and a beautiful sunrise combined to create a most picturesque scene. Not to mention all the farms and old buildings, and even the odd castle and fort ruins along the way! I have come to a point in my life where 3 degrees celsius feels warm and I start shedding layers! Arriving in Nice, we found our hotel after only getting a little bit lost and have decided that this is our favorite hotel thus far! Not only did we get a choice of rooms on arrival, but the room we chose is huge compared to our other ones. It is an attic style room on the top floor with a skylight window and quite a big bathroom. We went for a walk around Nice and found the ocean and enjoyed some time in the sunshine! We went for a climb up more stairs to some viewing platforms to see out over the ocean as well as over Nice and to the snow capped mountains in the background-lots of good photo opportunities as it was truly beautiful! Back on a train today to the next country on our list. Au Revoir France!
