Day 23 – half way through our holiday – en route to Nice

Today is one of those blah travel days. On trains most of the day from Levante to Nice and a cold coming on for me. Some dodgy characters get on the train at Genova, which makes me feel nervous for a while. Alan and I do our too-impatient thing again and jump off one train one station short of our destination – this time without being able to jump back on the train again. Adds a bit of excitement to the day and an extra bus journey. We arrive in Nice around 5pm and go straight to our hotel, which is out near the airport. Over dinner in the only restaurant available for miles we chat with a very wealthy American couple in their eighties who travel constantly.
