2016.10.10 (Madrid \u2013 Nice[France])<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a lazy morning enjoying a late breakfast as our flight to Nice was only scheduled for late afternoon. After our hotel check-out, we walked 50m to the subway station where we needed to plot our subway connection that would bring us to the airport. All the nifty mobile applications for Madrid\u2019s subway did not help to account for the line 1 closure. Nonetheless, it was an easy commute to the airport\u2019s terminal 4. Just when you think that an airplane\u2019s seat couldn\u2019t get any smaller, you discover that an airline has managed to do it. Thankfully, the flight to Nice was only two hours or so. Upon our arrival in Nice, we realized that the warm weather was now behind us. We managed to take a city bus to the downtown area of Nice but as I had forgotten to download the Nice map on my Maps.Me application, we needed to seek some directions from the friendly locals. We checked-in into our last hotel of this trip for the next four nights. Our room was graciously upgraded for the duration of our stay. We struggled a bit to find a reasonably priced restaurant nearby for supper but we finally opted for some pizza. We returned at our hotel under some light rain.<\/p>\n\n\n
