Nice
The last stop of our My Way Tour. Our last days in France, a new large body of water to dip our toes into. We have touched the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, but this is was our first bit of water in Europe. The beach was very different. We are so used to sand while the beach we visited in Nice was rocky. The day was beautiful, the breeze light, and the sun wonderful.
After our success in getting to Arles by train, we thought we were ready to purchase our tickets to Rome. We were able to purchase the tickets online. However, we did not download the tickets or get them on paper while in Nice. This was a mistake. When we got off at the first stop which happened to be in Italy, we were unable to get them finalized. Not that much of a problem at that stop but a bigger problem when we made an unexpected break at the wrong stop in Italy. Also when we tried to exchange our tickets for the train that we missed, the only way to continue on in a timely manner was just to buy new tickets.
