We arrived in Nice on Friday night around 9:30 pm. We got
settled into the hostel before heading to Wayne’s Bar and Pompeii Bar for some
live music.
Saturday we slept in a bit and headed the Monaco in the
early afternoon. We went straight to the Monte Carlo Casino and I can officially
say that I’ve gambled there. May have lost 5 euros… but it was worth it. It was
beautiful, such an elegant casino. Then we headed to the beach. The water in
Monaco and Nice is so blue and clear. After spending the afternoon walking
around, we took the bus back to Nice and grabbed a nice dinner. Of course I got
some tortellini in a mushroom cream sauce.

Sunday morning we slept in a bit again and then headed to
the outdoor market of Nice. It had a flower market with lots of beautiful
flowers as well as other little trinkets. It had tons of olives and fruits, so
I got some yummy strawberries. I miss fruit! There was also some amazing oil
paintings on canvas, wish I could’ve bought one. After the market, we headed to
the Nice beach. It was perfect timing because the carnivale parade was just
getting started right where we were, so we got to stand there and watch it for
free. Then we got lunch at a café along the water. I got a salad with warm goat
cheese toast and bacon and ham.

Unfortunately when we got out of lunch it started raining,
even though it had been so nice out that morning. We headed back to the hostel
to hang out for a few minutes before heading to the train station. We left Nice
at 4:30 and got back to Lugano at 12:40 am. It was a perfect weekend after our
ten-day trip. It was relaxing and cheap!
