As you all know, I came here for a semester to study abroad. But what that really means is a semester of travelling! Our first stop was the south of france. After getting settled in our apartment in Lyon, we took a 1 hour flight to Nice and spent a week travelling the coast of France. I had my first hostel experience in Nice where I went from my Melissa Classic mattress to a bunk bed. But it didnt turn out as bad as I anticipated. Luckily we had really nice roomates so we didn't have to worry about tucking our passport under our bed and sleeping with our purses. YAY! Also, in staying at a hostel for the week we met many new people from all over the world-- Germany, England, Paris, Portugal, Austria, Morocco.. the list goes on. Although Nice was beautiful and I could've easily sat on the beach for an entire week lying by the shore and soaking up every ray of sun, we decided to venture out and explore the coast of France. We hopped on the train and visited a new place every day. We saw Monte Carlo, Cannes, Antibes, Villefranche and Cap D'ail. All were more beautiful than the next. But for me, Cap D'ail was that "hidden gem". So if any of you make it to the south of France, I strongly recommend visiting this unique little island as I'm sure you will have the same "jaw dropping" moment I did. All in all our first trip to the South of France was a great success. Beautiful weather, great shopping, delicious food, endless sightseeing... c'est parfait!
