Beaches here are cool

French Riviera
We’re in Nice, all checked in to our cozy bungalow. All our experiences with campsites in France have been so wonderful we’ve decided to stick with them. It’s really nice having your own little home right near a very expensive beachfront for €40 a night. We’ve decided to take the next few days pretty easy here, it is the vacation capital of Europe I guess. Blue doesn’t even begin to describe the color of the water here. I had trouble keeping my eyes on the road sometimes as every view off the road seemed nicer than the last.

There’s a nice little walk in Nice along the ocean called the “Walk of the English”, apparently no one really came here until the English decided this was the place and fronted the money for a lot of improvements back in the 1800s. The beaches are just large pebbles, which doesn’t seem to faze anyone one bit. The water’s beautiful though, so we’re planning on coming back tomorrow for some sun and a dip. Oh, and there are lots of topless sunbathers. Disgusted, I tore myself away after gawking a mere 10 minutes or so.

Heading to Monaco this afternoon.
