We enjoyed a surprisingly easy wake up in Nice this morning as the sun started cooking our tents but somehow gently pulled us out of bed. We had breakfast and then took our coach to a local perfumery. After learning about the science and work behind perfume and made some purchases we drove into Nice. We started in Old Town Nice and found a small boulangerie and a kebab place for lunch. Then we continued on to the Chateau to get stunning views of both Nice and Monaco.
After descending from the Chateau we went right down to the beach. The water is a remarkable blue and it was also very warm... which ended up biting me pretty badly. As we swam out further from the shore, I felt an intense pain wrapping around my right arm, as if every inch was being stung with a needle. I saw a jelly fish and pushed it away but the damage was already done. One of my friends walked with me to the Pharmacy as the stung sections began to react and raise. Luckily we found a friendly and English speaking pharmacist nearby and I am fighting back with some medicines that, apparently, would trigger a doping test if I was a competitive athlete.
After the beach we walked back to the center of the city and caught our coach back for a quick dinner at our campsite. Now we are heading out to Monaco for some gambling and to see the sights. Catch you all soon!!
