Today was arguably the best day of the trip. In no rush, we left our hotel and went down the mountains of the French Rivera and were accompanied with the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean. First, we stopped at a sweets factory, where I bought some crystallized tangerines for my Dad. Afterwards, we had the option to shop in the town square or go to the beach. Most of us decided to go swimming in the Mediterranean, and it was beautiful! After we got lunch and went on our way to Italy. After we dropped our stuff off at the hotel and had our best dinner yet, we went into the town square and had gelatos--because you just can't go to Italy without getting them. In all, today was chill and relaxing, and I would love to come back here later (and longer!).

Today in the morning we went to the center of Nice where we first went to the chocolate factory where they made all sorts of sweets, these sweets were very good. After that, we went into a market and we had a lot of free time to do many things. We first went through the market and I bought some radishes which were very cheap. After that, me and my friends went to the beach, but I only dipped my feet in because I didn't bring a swimsuit. After that, we had lunch and after lunch, we went to the bus, where we took a big trip, about 5 hours to the hotel near florence. After we arrived at the hotel, we had dinner, and after that, we went out and had some gelato. The best part was in Nice when we went to the beach.

We started our day today with breakfast in the morning and then a trip to the beautiful town of Nice. First, I went to the beach which was rocky but also very nice. Then we went to lunch at a restaurant near the beach and had beef stew which was very good. We then took a 5 hour bus ride to Florence which was surprisingly enjoyable. The ride did not seem as long as expected and was a nice rest from our usually active days. Then we arrived at our hotel at around 7:30 and went to dinner in the hotel a bit later. We had noodles with meat sauce but then realized that the noodles were not actually our main course and were somewhat full by the time we received our entrée. After dinner we had a great night in the town of Florence in which we had gelato and enjoyed the culture of Florence. One of our group members even received a crowd when he was solving his Rubix cube blindfolded. Although some may argue our day was uneventful compared to others it was a great day with both activity and a nice day of rest on the bus.
