My first day in Nice, my last stop in France, Europe and my 2010 trip.
Last time when I was here, more than ten years ago, I simply past by this place. I just spent some time sleeping in my sleeping bag in front of the train station waiting for my train to Italy. At that time I thought beach towns like this weren't my cup of tea. The palm trees were a bore to me. Now (perhaps as I grow older), I finally know how to appreciate it.
Well, I just arrived here today. I have just walked a little bit around the town centre for about 2 hours. And it seemed pretty and...nice.
Finally, I think I could do some shopping here. Love the chocolates and cheese of France, not to mention foie gras.
Beaches, and more beaches. There's so much sea to see in this trip, to my surprise, for I am the kind that used to avoid the beach when travelling. But the sea I've seen has been lovely, with such lovely blue color. I must say I enjoy my beach town days.
And I have realised at least two wishes so far. One was watching a football match of FCB at Camp Nou in Barcelona. The other one was having un rendez-vous avec Monsieur Yann Tiersen at Marseille, though this time he's more rock than the early YT that I used to know. The concert was good. Sadly no accordion, no A quai, mais heureusement, there's still the familar violin.
And I've seen so much beauty in this trip, des paysages et des hommes!
Bisous! A bientot!
