Started today with a good clean up for my Aix AirBnb, that turned out to be a really nice place. A large studio, but a comfortable corner unit. It was still quite cold this morning when I stepped out for a coffee, and after walked over to the Gare Routiere, the bus station to take the 40 bus to the TGV station. That worked as advertised and after a bit of a wait onto the Ouigo TGV to Nice, about 2.5hrs. Ouigo is SNCFs discount train option, but I really don’t notice much difference. Today the train was not crowded, so just took a 4 person club seat and had things to myself in that regard. Easy trip with only a couple brief stops, then onto the Tram in Nice, a week long pass that covers all the trams and buses in most of the riviera is 15 euros! Met at Airbnb, and apartment looks fine, and very well located immediately across from a restaurant I’ve been to before and liked. After having a quick bite of the local specialty, Socca, a chickpea flour pancake, off to Monoprix for a few breakfast items and then out for a walk. Seemed pleasantly warm this afternoon with temps in the 50s, but cooling off rapidly now. Off to dinner shortly with Richelle from one of my French groups who has just moved to Nice and Jin and Neil former Seattleites who live here.










Beautiful Nice photos!
