We had three nights in Nice which I would totally recommend to anyone, not only is it a great place with plenty to keep you entertained it is fantastic as a base to explore the surrounding gorgeous beaches and other hot spots. 
houses various monuments, roman ruins and a waterfall. We wandered through a traditional food market, and stopped in at small patisseries. I formed a meaningful relationship with luscious lemon meringue tarts, and Niki kept finding more wine and cheeses to sample. On our first night in Nice we followed our Lonely Planet’s advice and dined at “Basta Pasta” which was so yummy, we ended up there again on our last night! 
There is a fantastic promenade all along the beach which was lovely to wander down at night. Nice has a pebble beach which is extremely uncomfortable but the water is so so gorgeous blue, but when we were there it was a bit rough for my liking. Also the main square was a good place to be, “buskers” for entertainment including an opera singer and further up a pianist. There are pillars along the road with statues of people sitting on them that light up and change colour at night.
Our last day of the holiday was lovely, I spent the morning souvenir shopping whilst Niki 
watched the AB’s beat the Aussies to take the tri-nations & Bledisloe cup (needless to say someone was in an excellent mood all afternoon!). We later met up on the beach for our last baguette, ham and cheese lunch and soaked up a few rays before heading to the airport at about 7pm. Surprise surprise our flight was delayed 45 minutes…but ultimately it all went well and we arrived home at 3am… back in London… back to the grind…
