What to do in Nice Cannes

Well we have just come back from a holiday from Nice.

We chose Nice, because it was a single direct flight and I needed a 2 day holiday.

We booked our flights with EasyJet.com which seemed to be the cheapest, even so they charge for baggage as an extra.

Car hire was expensive but we chose to rent a car just for the ease of getting around, we paid about £90.00 for 2 days

Aiprort parking we looked around and found Fhr was the cheapest for airport parking

Hotels
We where looking for an expensive quality hotel at a cheap price, we used the 1hotelsearch hotel search engine and was astounded to find a Hotel in nice 4 stars at only £100.00 a night, the correct price should have been about £280.00

The problem with renting a car is that at hotels you have to park in a public parking which costs about 24 euro a day.

Nice, the beaches are rocky, so we drove to Caanes, which has lovely sandy beaches. We wanted a quite beach, so we went to a private beach in caanes and we where told to pay 37 euro a person, I asked the person if I dont use the towel and deckchair, how much would it be, and she replied its free, so we had this quite beach to ourselves.

We drove up to Monaco (monte carlo) to visit the casinos, not to play but just to see what the fuss is all about, I must say it was worthwhile seeing, remember if you go to take your passport with you because they wont let you into the casino without your passport.

The drive to monaco is nice and you have the option of taking the toll roads or not, as a tourist I wouldnt take the toll road, the (free ) route is very scenic, but if you are in a rush take the toll road, it is only about 2.50 euro.

Shopping in Nice: dont even bother everything is a fortune, we popped into cap3000 whichis a shopping mall next to the airport, you can take a bus there for about 1.50 euro from nearly any area in nice.

Not to be missed is the market in the old town of nice, between 9 - 1 in the mornings.

If you are into walking visit the Valderblora mountains or Valderberg, which has snow topped peaks and lovely views.

In Cannes you can take a boat trip across to monac which is nice and exciting.

If you are feeling pumped and young, you can rent a moped from ADA which is is the main town of Nice, a 50cc moped costs only 26 euro a day.

Overall we had a nice time, we where there for 2 days and packed in quite a bit, I couldnt spend more than a week in Nice, but each to there own
