So this trip to the French Riviera was with Bus2Alps. This trip was so great because it was such a beautiful weekend. I went on this trip by myself because I actually won this trip! I left on Thursday and we got to Nice at around 2am. The Hostel was pretty nice and the beds were very comfortable. I also met 3 girls from the trip who were in the same hostel room as me who I ended up hanging out with for the whole trip. Friday morning we got up for breakfast at the hostel and went on a walking tour of Nice with our awesome tour guide James. He used a baguette so we could see where he was and made the last person in the tour wear the loop of shame. The tour was really fun. I was supposed to go scuba diving, but unfortunately it was too windy and the water was too choppy to go out. Despite my disappointment, James pulled through for us and took us to a really great beach where we hung out until we had to be back at the hotel. We went to a great place for dinner, Waynes Bar. I would definitely suggest going there if you are ever in Nice. Great for dinner and fun at night too. There is live music during dinner and a DJ at night and everyone dances on the table. After dinner we got some dessert at a Gelato place that I had gone to the first time I was in Nice. Saturday we headed out to Eze to the Fragonard perfume factory. After the factory tour we were able to climb up in the town and go to the exotic gardens which were really awesome. I also got a crepe for lunch which was delicious. After being in Eze we headed to Monaco and Montecarlo. There was a tennis tournament starting the day we were there so there were some tennis decorations outside the casino. Walking around Monaco was fun and it was a really nice day again when we were there. Sunday was probably me favorite day of the trip. We went to Antibes for a beach day. Antibes is a small town in the French Riviera that is huge for Yachts. We walked through the outdoor market in town and got sandwiches before heading down to the beach where I spent around 4 hours reading, sleeping, tanning and listening to music. It was the perfect end of the trip. The ride home was great because nobody sat next to me and i was in a seat where nobody was behind me so I got super comfortable. Also my guide from bus2alps was amazing and she also had a great choice in movies!
