Nice is nice
Vive l'Australie! (who would have thought we'd get so into soccer??!)
What a great World Cup game it was tonight! It was so exciting to watch Australia move through to the next round, surrounded by cheering Aussies in a bar in Nice. And wierdly enough - Em again randomly bumped into a girl she went to uni with in Sydney, who was at the same bar!
It's really hot here tonight - it's after midnight and still 24 degrees. We spent today on the beach in Nice, soaking up the sun, and eating baguettes filled with jambon and fromage (ham and cheese)! We've had a baguette every day since we arrived here!
Yesterday we were lucky enough to be in Nice for the Fete de la Musique - a huge free music festival that happens on June 21 each year all over France, including the streets of Nice, and the beach promenade. We saw some great DJs, some of the best were hidden in tiny alleys in Vieux Nice, which is the old part of town - imagine laneways lined with shuttered windows... it's beautiful!
There was also an incredible stage set up on the harbour in Nice - which had a backdrop of some of the biggest boats we'd ever seen!

It's all a myth...... the "Fete de la Musique" was put on just for your visit!! You have certainly stumbled on some wonderful events during your travels from Anzac Day in Vietnam to this!!! The weather sounds perfect...my sort of climate!! Have fun.
Love, Meg
