But arriving in Nice is a shock. Suddenly we are in a lively, sunny city after months since our last city experience in Nancy. But do not worry, we are adjusting, but have to pinch each other to make sure we are not dreaming. We are planning walks around the city, so that we can eat all food from the sea like we had way back in Holland.
We will stay here and rest for a few days and then travel through Italy on our way back to Frankfurt for our trip home. We plan to see our friends Darilyn and Paul in the Slovenian Alps and will report on our travels when we can.
Here are a few photos of our arrival:

She had to hide her toes in the surf because she *really* needs a pedicure!
ReplyDeleteCongrats you two on a successful journey.
Oh, I LOVE Nice!!! I'm pretty sure we had a drink at the same cafe, it looks very familiar! You guys should take the train to Monaco for an evening. We went into the "poor man's" part of the casino, and with 20 Euros worth of chips, Sam won over $400US, playing the slot machines, in about 15 minutes!
ReplyDeleteWell, we are impressed.................mighty!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure..........Anxious to hear the Italy part!
Say hello to the other Darilyn......(the younger one)
Love to the both of you 2........How fun to live this trip thru your adventures.
Last Sunday of summer and in the Sierras it feels like Fall.
Safe travels you 2!
