Beautiful Nice: part 2 - night at the airport

The saying "time flys by" couldn't be more untrue to our encounter at the airport in Nice. After the disaster with my credit card (I didn't have the money on time on the account) we had to spend six hours in the lonely halls of the airport à Côte d'Azur. It didn't start very well for us.

Well, we weren't all by ourselves there because a few others were also spending the night at the airport. Unfortunately we didn't have anything useful to sleep. No blankets, no pillows, no nothing! Thinking that we might have been able to go to Saint-Tropez instead of sitting through the night on very uncomfortable chairs didn't help with the situation. 

Another four hours until the rental car office opened .... 

And I couldn't even blame them. French people are often very impolite and unfriendly. But this time the two guys behind the counter were the most friendly French guys I've ever seen. The two most polite people I've ever come across on French territory. So could I be able to be a bitch and make a scene when it's not their fault?

At three in the morning one of my friend and I went to the nearby hotels (there was Novotel and ibis budget hotel) to ask for a room. But with no luck! All the hotels were fully booked.

Still three hours to kill.... Why does time creep like a snail?!? 

Hopefully the next morning we would have at least the car.
