Day 35- TGV to Nice

After our last day in Paris we woke up early the next morning and headed off to Nice on the TGV. The TGV is the high speed train that travels up to speeds of 180mph. The only problem we had with the train was 2 things. First thing was that the train was 6 hours long. The second problem was that we only had about 3 minutes to get 49 people on the train and with luggage before it left. They were serious about leaving people because while we were loading the train the conductor whistled and we still had about 20 people left outside. Right after that happened, everyone just pushed everyone on and just started going into a crazy panic to get everyone on with their luggage. It was a mad house. Finally we were able to get everyone on train and we organized all the baggage and it appeared to be okay. Ashley and I sat across from each other while jenny sat next to her and I sat next to Phillip. The train was not too bad for Ashley and I but for some people the train was worse than the bus. We got off the train and walked outside to catch our bus because we were staying right outside the city for our hotel in Nice. After we checked into the hotel we walked around town to get food for dinner and the grocery store as well as pick up some food for lunch the following day. We bought a variety of foods like meats, cheeses,bread, juice, water, snacks and returned to the hotel to have a feast in the room while we relaxed. After dinner everyone just stayed in Ashley's room and talked and listened to music until bedtime. The next day was beach then a day excursion in Monaco and the Monte Carlo at night.
