Hours 1-3 in Nice

The directions to the hostel were impeccable. Honestly, it is funny how having a good set of directions can give you a good start for a journey. I only had one day to spend here and not wasting time getting lost was fabulous.



I arrived at the hostel and checked in. They said the room would not be ready until 2 so I was off. I could not find my location on the map and so I asked a guy who told me to ask a girl who gave me explicit directions...in French. I just wanted to know the direction to walk and then after a while I would ask someone else for updated directions. She mentioned the tram and I decided to ignore her and ask someone else.



The next person was awesome and gave me perfect walking directions. I arrived at the beach (with no bathing suite, I thought about getting it on before I left the hostel but it was at the bottom of my bag...). I looked around in awe of the striking color of the water and then went in search of food (it was one o'clock).



I found a really large marche or market filled with people selling antiques and what looked like junk. I was totally unamused and found somewhere to eat and watch the buyers. I picked this place because the plate of the day was mussels and fish (some white fish, she could not think of the name). Anyway, I ordered it and saw it was one or the other and was satisfied with my meal.

Then, I headed back to the hostel to get my bathing suite...
