It gets boring and is much more expensive since it's the vacation spot of the rich. I didn't care for Nice or the nearby towns. Though I will say Monte Carlo is an experience. I think you should sit at the cafe right near the casino and watch the rich walk in. That's what I did. We had a hot waiter too. Maybe you'll get him. Oh and about the trains...it's the way of Europeans, and I will say the French strike just as much if not more than the Italians. So enjoy, though if you look at the local paper or ask people they will tell you when the strike will be. They have planned strikes and they are usually due to Europeans not wanting to go to work for a couple of days. Hope you enjoy France. Miss you both! Leave Nice and head to Paris!

I think the strikes have something to do with the government wanting to get rid of a law that prohibits anyone from ever being fired or laid off. Also, they are trying to get them to work as much as 30 hours a week (10 if you're a Nose). Actually I don't begrudge the Noses their 10 hour work week - imagine what they go through when navigating those sidewalks covered in le do do. Nice seems very niece - too bad it’s in France.
