Revenge Holiday to Nice, France 2023

 Hello Darlings, 

So I went on a revenge holiday to Nice which was really nice. It’s always loads of fun with my sister. I also love going to Nice this time of year because it is nice and warm but isn't too hot and there aren't many tourists about, it can get very very hot in the summer and I end up spending all my time inside. 


Monday

So on Monday I took an afternoon flight to Nice which was pretty chill and stress free. My sister always asks me to bring crisps so I normally spend an arm and a leg on skips, wotsits and quavers at the airport. Anyway it was a really chill flight and I ended up landing in France about 9pm. I met up with my sister and we got a crepe and a glass of wine in a square- I think this is becoming like a tradition whenever I go to Nice. Anyway we got back to the apartment and decided to do some late night crafting accompanied with wotsits. I taught my sister how to make friendship bracelets which she smashed. I also left her some cord so she can do more practice.

Tuesday

We decided to walk from Nice to Villefranche. It took I think about an hour and a half and it goes along the coast. My sister had made a Guatemalan (she recently went on hols there and brought back packets of beans) inspired breakfast so that fuelled us. It was a really nice walk but I am quite unfit, so it was a slight struggle.

I look like such a dork lol.

 Anyway we got to Villefranche and we had a nice glass of wine on the seafront. 

We got some snacks to have on the beech and got a lift from some friends back to Nice. In the evenign we stayed in and watched Love is Blind. We did some more crafting- my sister had purchased a plain black bikini top ages ago that she wanted to thread some pony beads onto, and so we did that and yeah it looked really cool. 

Wednesday

On Wednesday we had a revenge shopping day in Nice. I didn't actually buy anything because I like to sort of think before I buy something. But yeah there are some things on my shopping list. We looked round Galleries Lafayette and Sephora, and I tried on some bikinis in Etam. We went for a bagel and a cookie for lunch. There is a cafe in the shopping centre called Emilie and the cool kids which does like bagels and cookies.








We were admiring some Zadig and Voltaire bags in Galleries Lafayette. They are so edgy and cool. 

 My sister and I had some noodles for dinner and then we went for a glass of wine in the evening at one of my favourite bar in Nice- Les Distilleries Ideales. 

Thursday

So my sisters day got off to a bad start to her day as she had an emergency at work (it involved mice lol). So I decided that I would get breakfast and walk up castle hill to eat it. Castle hill has a viewing platform and yeah lovely views over the port and the old town. I literally made it only half way up, I am so unfit, this has been like a wake up call lol. But yeah I ate my breakfast which was a chia seed pot, kombucha, haribos and cheddar bites. I then read a bit of my book, I read two books when I was away, The Great Gatsby and The Graduate, which I enjoyed reading both.

I love this outfit. 

I then met up with my sister in the park that afternoon and had some nibbles while watching some people do hip hop dance. Then we went back and did some cleaning because we had guests coming to stay in a few days time. 

Then in the evening we tried out a new restaurant, which did like sharing plates and wine. Really nice, I would go back again. We went for another glass of wine in a square.


We saw this like weird head on our walk back. 

Friday

We did some finishing touches to cleaning the flat and had another Guatemalan inspired breakfast. Ugh I was actually so sad to be leaving. There was a bit of a delay with the airline because of the strikes, I kind of wish I brought more provisions because I got hungry. But yeah I had such a fun trip. If you ever want a recommendations or advice blogpost for Nice I will defo be up for posting.

Love,

Happyhippo x
