25/06/09 - Nice Day 1

We arrived in Nice (NEESE) at around 9 AM. After obtaining a map from the tourist info, we went to our hostel. Located just off one of the main streets in Nice, it is kind of a shabby place. We're typing this sitting in the hall, on the floor, as there are no seats and we don't get WiFi reception in our dorm.

When we arrived at the hostel, no one had checked out yet, so we were unable to check in to our dorm. We dropped our packs off behind the reception area, and walked around a bit. The beach area is alright, though it is a pebble beach. I guess French people don't mind pebble beaches, as it was super crowded, and there were people sunbathing on those hard, round pebbles. The water is a lovely blue, lighter towards shore, and suddenly darker a few hundred feet out.

After observing the water, we decided that we would want to go swimming, and shopped around for suits/trunks. We found some and then ate lunch in what looks like their equivalent of Bellevue Square. After that, we checked in, and are bumming around, waiting for the sun to lose its intensity.
