Nice

Spent the day in Nice.   Traveled there by train - about 40 minutes journey and only 14 euros for us both return!    A good start.     Our first time on a double decker train - great view from upstairs - beats British Rail.   
We loved Nice.   What a vibrant city - and this on a Monday!   Took the little train up to the old castle ramparts - what a view...  

.... and then walked along most of the Promenade des Anglais (about 8 kms long) which stretches right round the whole of the sea front.    Wonderful heady atmosphere - nipped into the Hard Rock Cafe Hard Rock Cafe in Nice so we could add to our list of HRCs we have been in; Barcelona 2001, Paris 2012 and now Nice in 2014.    Not bad - soon have them all ticked off at this rate.

Watched people having fun with the magical street fountains: 

Street Fountains Nice

Fabulous display - all day and night!

Think we would love to go back to Nice one day but had to dash for the train as limited parking meter at Juan les Pins where the car was parked.    Hilarious as we had to stand upstairs - train packed with tea time rush hour!    Just like standing up on a plane I imagine - very strange and Jeff's backpack clobbering everyone made us very popular....
