A massive thunderstorm rolled through nice this morning and woke me up at 7am. We had laundry drying outside and I had to run around on the roof, half asleep, in the pouring rain, chasing our underwear and other garments as they blew around in the wind. Went back to bed, woke up again around 9 and the sun was shining once again. I took a walk to the beach because I wanted to go for one last swim before we left Nice. As soon as the beach was within eyesight I slowly realized that swimming was not an option. The storm had brung in all the gunk from the ocean to the shore and all the water from the shore until about 40-50 meters outward was an unwelcoming brown color; a strange site. And no one was swimming. So instead I climbed many stairs to reach a park located atop a huge hill right near the centre. The park had an amazing panorama view of the entire city of Nice. It also had a wide array of playgrounds and snack bars, and even a magnificent waterfall that can actually be seen all the way from the bottom when you're walking along the main strip. I admired the view for one last time and then headed back to the house to pack. The next day we were headed to a little village in the french alps near Dignes to meet with some friends for a night before heading to Italy!
