Cote d'Azur

Myself and three of my best friends that I have made in Paris decided we needed to get away from the grey skies of Paris and head south. After a 6 hour train ride, we arrived in Nice in the south of France. We stayed in Nice for four nights, and although this was a lot of time, we didn't have alot of plans or excursions planned. This was nice though, as the hustle and bustle of panicked travel had gotten us very tired. We spent lazy days in the sun on the beach, did a few touristy things and enjoyed some deliciously fresh fruit and food. Here are some pictures...

 Somehow we lucked out with this amazing hotel in Nice for a very small price:

best cure for a sunburn: a swim in the Mediterranean:

 A day trip to Monte-Carlo, Monaco. It was only 3 euros to get from Nice to Monaco and Cannes so we went to Monaco for the day and Cannes for the evening.
