A bit of R&R down the french riviera

Summer holidays are hard work, so much to do and see. We went down to the beautiful city of Nice for some R&R and some swimming in the sea. The sea was lovely but it was hard work getting in and out with so many stones on the beach!

The salty water is quite bouyant, so much so that we can stick our toes out!

Enjoying some sunshine on the pebbly beach.

Our apartment from street view - it is the one with the umbrella on the balcony.

 
The view from our 5th floor apartment.

 Enjoying an aperitif on the balcony.

 A day trip along the coast to Monaco.
Wow, look at all those seaview apartments and boats in the harbour!

 The view from the hill where the palace resides.

 Changing of the guards outside the palace.

And to finish off, a bit of pampering by way of a fish foot spa!

 No holiday is complete without huge portions of ice cream!
