We said goodbye to Italy yesterday travelling north from La Spezia along the Med coast through Monaco and up to Nice. It was a really nice ride with some really spectacular views of the coast and the little coastal villages. Overall thoughts on Italy are positive - great food, lovely people (for the most part), awesome scenery and some amazing history. But they do seem to move at their own pace and that, especially, takes some getting used to.
So now we're in Nice for until the 31st and so far, I'm not that impressed. It's quite lovely here but there's not a lot to do if you're not a beach person. And with my pastey white skin, I am most definitely not a beach person. The beach is lovely though - much nicer than the ghetto Nice that Bobby, Wendi and I trudged through last November. The hotel is in a great location but it a little "basic" - but right near everything so I really can't complain. I've met up with some of the Ozzies that I was travelling with earlier so it's nice to catch up and see how there trip has been.
With all the Ozzies I'm now almost required to head down under at some point and do a tour. I've met people from all over so I'm all set with accomodations pretty much wherever I go. So maybe that's my next trip...
Next stop is Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. I'll let you know how that goes.
