we wanted to start early. instead we went grocery shopping at the Casino (grapefruit yogurt!) and had some cafes. ride was decent from what I remember (7 days later). tried to catch the train to Nice from Frejus, but there is apparently a strike in progress, so only every 9th train or so is running. Kept riding on to St. Raphael where we had to get a ticket for the TGV (hi speed train) to Nice. Normally, bikes are not allowed on this train. Howver, G talked our way on and the bikes were placed in a secret compartment.
blatent endorsement time: use TripAdvisor.com when picking a hotel. users rank the hotels in each city and you can see candid photos and reviews. it steered us right in Nice at the Little Palace hotel. great location near the train, beach and pedestrian street. only €90 for 3 stars also. not sure why nice is so famous. the beach is all rocks and it seems pretty touristy to me. perhaps cannes would have been better but we didnt have time to stop. antibes was also supposed to be fun, but didnt see that either. apparently Tom Cruise was there for a wedding yesterday.
oh, I lost my wallet tonight also. found it at the supermarket the next day though. that almost sucked.
wanted to go to Monaco for the evening, but the tain strike has us worried about getting stuck there. instead, got some doner kebabs in nice and planned to hit Monte Carlo for lunch tomorrow.
