By lunchtime we were ready to get out and enjoy this wonderful seaside city. First thing on our list was definitely food as we were both starving from lack of food on the train. Lucky for us we found a nice area of town to eat that was lined with French cafes, all with outdoor seating to allow for people watching. Alazda was able to enjoy her first bit of French cuisine for the trip with a croque monsieur (basically a fancy grilled ham and cheese sandwich), whereas Travis stuck with his favorite, pizza.
After eating, we headed towards the beach passing lots of shopping areas along the way. We found the coastline breathtaking, however, the weather was quite a bit windy making it too chilly to sunbathe. Instead we found a nice spot to sit down and watch the waves roll in while reminiscing on such a wonderful trip. We continued our tour of Nice by walking down the main shopping street to do a bit of shopping.
In the evening, the streets came alive with artists and musicians showing off their craft. We strolled from one to the other just taking in the atmosphere. Before the night was over we were able to enjoy another great French original in leu of a birthday cake for Alazda - the Chocolat Crepe.

Heineken in the vending machine, perfect after 12 hours on a train (only 2 euros)!
