Today we just felt like a relax day in Nice. The vibe in the city today was one of celebration as there is a Sweden vs Belgium euro soccer game being played in Nice today. Jim would have liked to have gone but it is sold out as the stadium only holds 35000. There were a lot of people dressed in yellow (Sweden)and red (Belgium) sitting and walking in groups all singing their songs and dancing and having a jolly good time. We had a walk up the hill for a view over Nice and then Jim was on the lookout for a place broadcasting the state of origin. As we wandered the famous flower market we happened upon an Irish pub/sports bar that had the game live inside in room 4! Jim was a happy man! There were 15 aussies gathered , only 3 of us Queenslanders and the rest Blues. The staff in the pub were surprised at how intense we aussies became about the game and had a fun time watching us. Suffice to say most of those gathered were not happy with the results !....but we were! After the game we headed to a specialty coffee place. It was so nice to sit and have a decent coffee with textured milk. We then did some shopping and wandered home and later found a very good restaurant nearby with delicious food. Continuing the sport themed day we watched the soccer game before bed. #
