4/5/6 September - Nice

4/5/6 September - 4th and 5th in Nice and to Milan on the 6th

We spent the 4th and 5th on the beach in Nice swimming and playing. The water was beautiful and warm and a cloudy sort of blue. The weather was good, hot and partly cloudy. Storms in the late afternoon seem to be common. We went out for dinner one night and out for lunch to a great restaurant in the heart of old Nice.

We went to the markets and we bought some souvenirs and some fruit including a big juicy mango for Elodie.

















 

 We found a great pirate lolly shop. Alana bought the most lollies.



 
Alana and Ben left on the 5th and they flew to Barcelona on the next leg of their around the world trip. We had big French style breaky at a restaurant on the morning they left. We didn't like the hot chocolates that much, they were way too thick. We were very sad to see Alana and Ben go.

Mum and dad went out for a romantic last night dinner in Nice port on the 5th and we stayed with Nathan. Us girls and Nathan went out for dinner at a local restaurant. We had spaghetti and pizza and ice-cream of course.

Mum and dad had a big seafood dinner on the port waterfront. Their dinner included mediterranean prawns, calamari and sea bass. They said it was yum. They walked over to the port via the castle hill and checked out all the views and then on the way back they walked around the waterfront and saw a beautiful evening sunset over Nice and the Bay of Angels.

Nathan left early on the 6th on the TGV bullet train to Paris to fly back to Australia. We were very sad to see him go.

We had a great time with our big sister and brother and Ben in Nice.

We packed and left our lovely old Nice apartment mid morning on the 6th. We went for a morning walk along the Promenarde.

We picked up our car and drove to Milan via the riviera coast and then along the Italian coast for about a hundred kilometres. We then went inland to Milan. The scenery was spectacular. It was a beautiful sunny day.

We checked into our hotel near the airport and then took the hire car back to Hertz at the airport. We had dinner at the airport, then back to our hotel on the shuttle bus. We are looking forward to a big nights sleep.

Seeya at home soon. We are flying home from Milan tomorrow on Etihad Airlines via Abu Dhabi.

We are very sad our incredible holiday is coming to an end. We have seen and learnt so much. We have had the most wonderful time. But we are getting excited about home and seeing our family and friends. We are even looking forward to school.

Au Revoir/Arrivederci
