A slow start to the trip blog: the hotel’s wifi has been down since we arrived on Sunday afternoon and as Monday was a public holiday it wasn’t fixed. It’s still dodgy so hopefully this loads and I’ll post more on Nice when we have a stable connection.

Nice has been interesting as a stop after a long flight – warm, tourist friendly, good food and some sights to see but our three night stay has probably been enough – particularly as it’s been a bit grey and overcast, dampish here and there and if you know Queensland beaches a sun bed and brolly on a stony beach just isn’t the same!
