Big Adventures, Little World

We were up quite early before breakfast and we had time for a swim, so Lucy and I went off to the beach for a quick swim and then lay around on the not so comfortable stones in the sun which was a great way to start the day, and something I can recommend to anyone.

We went back to breakfast and then were on the road for a day in Nice, and it was also Bastille Day (France’s national holiday) so we expected it to be busy everywhere we went. To our surprise the streets were really quiet. The beaches however were very busy. Bel and I went down for a swim and a bit of relaxing in the sun before it got way too hot and we went off and explored the city.

There wasn’t too much to see, and I don’t think we really needed to spend a whole day there, but we went to the Marina and saw some of the super yachts that were there and also went past one of the largest war monuments, Monument Aux Morts which is a monument to all the French soldiers that have died in all wars. We made our way back to town and met up with a few of the other guys from the tour, then made our way to beach, stopping for a few drinks on the way.

A big group of us lay around on the beach for the rest of the afternoon and swam before it was time to make our way back to camp, where there was a party on for Bastille Day. We had some drinks, around the campsite and most of us didn’t actually make it to the party as we all just sat around chatting and playing one of the biggest games of Kings drinking game with about 30 people. It turned into a big night, and we need some food so Lucy and I headed off to find some pizza, making a detour at the carnival that was going on across the road. We decided to go on the haunted house which was not scary at all, then left to find pizza. We found the pizza place and went off to the beach to enjoy our pizza. We loved the fact we were so close to the beach and able to just head there anytime we wanted. So great!

BTW- Lucy is pretty fantastic, and it doesn’t matter that she’s shit at typing because she more than makes up for it with her wit and charm.

Also, I can’t even recognise the word wit when it is spelt out in front of me, thus proving that I in fact have none.

I am also too chicken  to leave any of this in…BRAAACCCCKK (before you say anything, that is a chicken noise).

Lucy’s sentence construction is far better than mine, though she is prepared to admit that I am SLIGHTLY (I emphasise the slightly) better with grammar…Only slightly, I wouldn’t push it.
