From Paris to the plage!

We got up early this morning to catch our train to Nice. There was a slight snag with the bus driver but we still made it on time. Our train left at 9:21 and we caught our first glimpses of the Mediterranean by noon or so when we neared Marseille. It took us until 3pm to arrive in Nice because they made a few stops along the way. So arriving in Nice, we packed the bus and we went by bus just a little way to the Promenade des Anglais along the water. 

After a quick walking tour of the old town, we split up for some free time. Because it is Sunday, a lot of the major stores weren't open but many little shops in the old section were. But who am I kidding? Those kids wanted to go swimming! So many of them enjoyed the water and a few climbed to the look-out point over the Baie des Anges. We all met back up at 8pm to catch our bus back to our hotel just west of Cannes for a late dinner.

So now we have one more full day in France and we are excited for what's planned, possibly including more swim time!
