As I was about to go up the stairs to enter my room, there was a sudden wave of WATER crashing down the stairs at which had me flown, crashing backwards onto the floor.

Oh, yes I was soaked from head to toe, including my backpack. Turned out, a water pipe burst on the second floor and due to it being the main water pipe, there was a lot of press of water that went pouring down the stairs.First experiences are always thrilling. Would you call this first experience extreme? As you can imagine, it took me a few hours to dry all my clothes and finally settle in. As first time in Europe, it was an unforgettable first experience.

Monte Carlo

So leaving the Wednesday from France to catch my flight out to Cuba the same day from Toronto was just a little stressful. So with just a bit of luck I made all flights and ended up in Cuba safely. So if you are wondering what I did in France for those extra days, well just guess!! Yes, traveling of course. I have already been to the French Riviera, but seeing it again brought back so many wonderful memories. The first day of finding out that our flight was delayed we headed over to Nice.

Now I was thinking it would all look the same as five years ago, well lets just say the only thing that did look the same was the train station and the beach. Nice has improved so much it surprised me. There were many streets that lend to the train station that use to be slummy and not very attractive, well now those streets have turned into beautiful shopping areas. With the buildings all painted the same bright red colour and modern trains zooming around, everything I remembered about Nice was different.
During this day a few friends and I spent lunch in Nice and wondered around freely to enjoy the warm summer air.
As for the next day, we worked a little on our laptops and for the rest of the day we headed over to Monte Carlo. Monte Carlo hasn’t change but no matter how much time you spend there, it remains beautiful. The scenery is something you just won’t ever find in Canada. I could just sit at the top of the hill where the palace is located and stare at the city for hours without getting bored. A co-worker and I walked around for hours enjoying the scene of the busy people with their flashy cars outside the casino, the grand palace, and people watched. Although during this time the Grand prix was only four days away, so there were many tourists getting ready for this big event.
As for the remaining days, and being a little stressed about my flights and all I spent the days on the Beach of Cannes, enjoying the smell of the sea and the warm sun on my face. As you can tell I love the beach, but being surrounded by beautiful scenery I really could ask for more. Over all I was one of the lucky ones who got stuck in Europe because of the Volcano.

I have uploaded a few new photos of Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo- FRANCE. This trip was my work trip, plus keep posted for Photos of my vacation in Cuba! Lots of Havana pictures to come!!!
