Tramping in Nice

After an amazing few days in Cinque Terre I hopped back on the bus to Nice on the French Rivera.

I had emailed a small hostel by the train station to stay for the first night. However when I got there to check in they had given my spot to someone else, bastards.

The Tour de France was finishing in Nice that night, because of this every hostel and affordable hotel was fully booked for the night. I walked around for about an hour looking for a place to rest my weary bones to no avail.

So then at 9:30pm I had to start looking for a comfortable looking for a comfortable looking door way. 

I had seen one with half decent feng shway -how the hell is that spelt by the way!- and a cover and started towards it. No sooner had I crossed the street I bumped into the guy who had crashed my dorm room last night for some 'horizontal jogging'.

He was with a big group of 5 ozzy's traveling together from the Gold Coast. I had a bit of a chat with them and it turned out they had an apartment rented near by. Very kindly they offered me a spot on their floor, which I kindly accepted. 

The apartment was really nice and had a full kitchen so we cooked dinner and had a lovely evening. I departed the next morning for a hostel closer to the beach.

The biggest thanks to Marley, Gavin, Hannah, Ben and Nathan; Legends.
