Nice is where I was became more sick. Super sick. And I hate being sick. Runny nose, intense headache. I brought along a travel bottle of Tylenol and I’ve mowed it all down. Stupid pills, I hate you.
I also kept my drinking to a minimum. And felt like a big L 24×7.
On my first day in Nice I really wanted to see Cannes, but on the train my headache got so bad that I swore I had some sort of sinus infection. So I went to the doctor, and it was closed, and I kicked the wall. Softly, but toe did touch stucco, or whatever cheap interior paneling they installed. What kind of doctors office is closed during the day? Taking a little siesta? !@#$ you. I’m sick. I want to see a doctor. If I had a Euro for everytime I’ve been to a closed Doctor’s office I’d be able to buy at least one Fanta. Seriously, I want one now. I whiped out my travel insurance book and gave the agency a little dingle, and the phone didn’t work. I called their 800 number and their collect number, and neither of them went through. French phone service, I hate you.
I walked into this little restaurant place and had somewhat of an adventure. This video explains it better than I could. At the time it was much more scary that in looked on film.
…
I was staying at one of those “Europe’s Best Hostels” and it was pretty cool. Big breakfast (they let me eat for free on my first day ‘cus I checked in early). Take that street vendors! They also serve 1 Euro beers, and make cheap but satisfactory pizza. I wish I could have enjoyed a few more of those beers… but I wanted to get better.
The next day I met up with someone who knew me when I was a baby and we had an amazing lunch. Real food! Vegetables! No bread. I’m so sick of bread. Everything was amazing except the milkshake I ordered. Clumpy cold nesquick or whatever that powdered hot chocolate is called. 6 Eruos for that? Next time, just let me sit on your fist. Vulgar.
I went to Monnaco to see Monte Carlo (the casino) and got to experience the wonders of a self-cleaning toilet. Have you seen Jack Ass? I was tempted to poo on the seat, ha ha. But I didn’t.
See, at times like this I wish I had a cell phone, because I would have loved to let you guys vote on that :P. Ew. I am disgusting. I hope I can get something like that working for Australia though. No, the cellphone. I wouldn’t actually poo on a toilet seat. Well, maybe if you made me.
Anyway. I realized I didn’t take any pictures while I was there! Seriously. What the hell is wrong with me. I guess it was the sick. I was still sick when I left. So I sort of regret not getting sloshed. But whatevs. I’m felling way better now.

My brother came running to see what I was laughing about. We must have spent like 5 minutes laughing at that face you made. Emmanuel is right, that was priceless
On your travels through Italy I suggest you visit “Alberobello”.

Unbelievably fairytale city.
next time let me sit on your fist!
ooops thats a bit ackward……….abort previous comment. i hope you feel better stud and that you get the proper medication for your rash….ooops i mean sinus trouble!
@Emmanuel - ha ha glad you enjoyed it.
@Diane - I randomly bumped into Jesse yesterday actually. We’re taking the train to Rome today.
@Gail - sorry, Italy’s done. Any suggestions for Germany, Austria, or Switzerland?
@Alifa - Are you drunk? hahahahhaha. And please don’t say rash. Last time I was in Ontario I got this weird allergic reaction to something and I became covered in hives. It was terrible.
What do you mean Italy’s done? Your email suggests you are on your way to Rome as we speak/write. And I thought you were going to Greece which would take you through Aberobello before you take the ferry there.
Anyway, NO, suggestions for any of those countries. To me, really boring.
Spend time in Greece AND go to the islands especially to Santorini:
