Arrival in Nice

After a nearly 21 hour flight arrived in Nice via Doha at 1:05pm today. We had at 2 hour 20 minute stop in Doha. It was 31 degrees centigrade when we arrived in Doha at 5:30am and 38 when we boarded the plane for Nice. Big change from the 8 degees in Melbourne when we left last night with a wind chill factor of somewhat less. I looked a bit silly carrying a jumper and jacket around.

After a quick shower we had a bit of walk around Nice, stood in the Mediterranean and had a late lunch. The water was a beautiful temperature and crystal clear. The beach is stone based not sand with Australian style lifeguards. There were also other wonderful sights on the beach.

Nice appears to be a beautiful city. We are staying in the old part. I love the multitude of narrow laneways with outside eating areas everywhere, the architecture and, with one exception, the people seem very helpful and friendly.

Tomorrow we will look to put our bikes together. Have only had about 2 hours sleep since 6am Melbourne time yesterday.
