I spent a few days in Nice. The beach there is amazing except the weather really wasn't warm enough to lay on the beach or go for a swim. Most of the town is quite new, there is a small old town that only takes a half an hour to walk around. In the old town there is a hill with an old castle. There isn't much of the castle left but there were some great views from the top. There isn't much to see in Nice so it only took me about 2 hours to see everything.
After walking around Nice I took a bus to a place called Eze which is a tiny medieval village perched on top of a small mountain. It is tiny, it only took me 10 mintues to walk around the entire town. But it is very medieval, the streets are very narrow and everything looks like it is from the medieval period. There was a viewing platform at the top were a castle use to be but they were charging 5 euros just to go up there.
I then spent some time in Monte-Carlo, Monaco. It is one of those places that makes you feel poor when you walk around. There were a lot of Bentley's and Ferrari's. I saw the famous Monte Carlo Casino but I wasn't aloud in because of some dress code, plus there is a 10 euro cover. I didn't spend much time in Monaco because I felt like I couldn't afford to stay.
I am spending time in Barcelona after Nice.
