Nice

The campsite was fairly nice and even offered local bread service, which we took advantage of. We spent the first day washing our clothes and repairing the light with the silicone. Thankfully it worked without much of a problem. We originally signed up for 2 amps of service at the campsite, as it’s the cheapest, but we ran out of amperage when we hooked up our heater so we had to up it to 10 amps. We didn’t want to be cold when it could be prevented. The following day we woke early to catch the bus into Nice and go on walkabout. Nice was nice enough to spend a few hours in. The most interesting thing we saw was the photos along the beach front taken by a scuba diver. All the weird sea creatures could be found off the coast of Nice, some just 10 meters off shore. Most were gross looking. We wandered down the coast to a short, but steep hiking trail to visit some roman ruins. The fact that the tourist office mentioned it as a sight to see was why we ventured here. It was however, not worth it. The ruins could have been mistaken for a pile of rocks. The hike though did provide a great view over Nice and its beach. There were many sun bathers, some topless and this is in January! We saw some people take a dip, but they only lasted a few seconds in the water. Nice’s beach was by far the strangest one we have come across. There was no sand to be found, just small round rocks.
