Beautiful Nice: part 3 - finally there...

To be honest, at first I had a bad feeling. No hotel, no rental car, we weren't even in the right mood to be at a place such as Nice. I mean we were stuck at the airport for god's sake!

But the further the new day - which had begun sunny and warm - went, the better it got. The new morning brought good vibes and once we got the car (thank god the money was now on my account) the mood lifted slightly. But we were tired nonetheless. Haven't slept good in the last few nights the night without sleep didn't do good to our start in our holiday. 

Anyways, as we made our way into the city we were speechless. The beauty of the paradise in front of us and the unbelievingly blue water of the sea to our right didn't give us much space for talk.

Even at eight in the morning the streets and the promenade were crowded with people. Some were jogging alongside the beach, some were strolling with their dogs a slow pace and others were just cycling on their "vélo blue" on the promenade.

"Vélo blue" are blue bicycles which you can find in almost all the streets of Nice and which you can rent for a few hours or a whole day to discover beautiful Nice and the beaches around Nice. Wonderful! I thought and made a plan to rent a bike and cycle around a little. 

Finally our GPS directed us to our hotel. The four story building was hidden between two other hotels and had a few steps leading into the building.

The air condition cooled foyer contained a small sitting group on the one side next to an even smaller tv corner with a desk with books and behind that the breakfast parlour. On the other side the hotelier was sitting behind his desk. 

Thank god the man allowed us to park our car on the parking and I explained him our disastrous night. He was so kind and friendly that I wondered if Nice belonged to France? Why were people out here so nice? Maybe it was Nice *wink* ha ha ha
