My last day in Nice was relatively quiet. I climbed lazily up to the ruins of the old Castle that overlooks Old Nice and the coastline and snapped some pics. There was even a man made waterfall up there, but nothing like the real thing if you know what I mean.
After that I worked my way ever so slowly to the Beua Rivage section of the beaches, set up camp, and stayed there for 4 hours. Towards the lqst couple of hours, I was lying on my stomach reading my book when I heard, 'Alors! Alors! Alors!' I turned around, quickly grabbed my bag and watched as the tide washed in tsunami style. The mat that I bought today for 2.50 was half wet, but it dried up enough for me to reroll it and take it on to Spain before I discharge it.
I was planning to take a shower at the public beach showers for 1.50, but it was closed by the time I walked over to it. I was NOT looking forward to another nasty night on the train. Luckily, my hostel has a handicap bathroom with a shower, so I showered there while people cooked and ate their dinners outside. Now I am so fresh and so clean, ready for whatever more will come my way. Hopefully more pleasant surprises after such a string of craziness that the last few days have been. Time for dinner!!!
