We were up early to be packed and ready to go at 9am when Marco, our driver, picked us up. We trevelled for 3 and ½ hours from Monterosso to Nice through some beautiful country side and nice little villages. It was a great trip and we stopped at McDonalds about 15 minutes from our destination. They had a code for the toilets, but the nice man told us the code and let us use them.
Our arrival in Nice was to a pleasant hot day, a bit windy and quite rough seas. We settled into the apartment we are sharing and gave the washing machine a work out. We now have washing in the lounge with the balcony doors open. We are on the 7th floor, which is the top floor overlooking the beach and it is a great location. We walked into town and had some lunch at a nice café and then walked through town towards the square and the markets. We had a lovely wander and then discovered the flower market had finished and the food market but we stopped for a drink at, what turned out to be a gay bar. Oh well, we hadn’t noticed until we looked around at the patrons and worked it out.
We walked back along the promenade to the apartment passing by the memorials to the people who were killed here recently in the attack by the man in the truck. Very, very sad. We went to the local supermarket and bought meat, pasta, onion, tomato, cheese, pesto, bread etc. to cook our own dinner and some wine, of course
