Nice; Sunday, 15 December, 2013

Having consumed another massive breakfast and checked out I headed down to the sea front to pick up the open-top tour bus.

I did a full circuit taking in the stunning views from the cliffs above the harbour, returning back to the starting point just in time to pick up the next bus back up the hill to Cimiez

The original location of the Roman city that was founded here there is lots to see, with some stunning remains and I spent much of the day looking round the Roman ruins, as well as the excellent museum to the French painter Matisse, who died in Nice.

I caught the bus back down into the city centre and by now it was already mid-afternoon, so there was just time for a quick cup of coffee and a bit to eat before heading back to the hotel to pick up my luggage and then down to the bus stop and off to the airport.
