Ok then let’s check out Monaco Wow it’s 136 Nice times ten! I’ve been turned away more times here in an an hour than I would have been if I tried to join a a a a ball arranged for the queen “Dude you you can’t ride your bike here because
‘Casino’” Fine then I’ll take my bike to a a a place we
are wanted the mountains!
And that’s when I get it Nice is down-
town town Nice Monaco Monaco is downtown Monaco Monaco As soon as you’re you’re over the hill you’re you’re far away from finances and and diamond earrings Nice and and Monaco are amusement parks where the best rides are clustered at at the bottom attracting everybody Only those who know how to get to the the the outskirts of the the the park using their own two legs will have fun in in the mountains Cyclists love the narrow roads and twisty climbs of Nice’s backcountry considered by most citi- zens to be a a boring vastness You gotta love being cleverer than the rich! Nice itself is not a a cycling destination but it’s a stunning city to spend time in in when off the the the bike as not all significant others enjoy the the the remoteness of your so-called training camp Nice has a a a a unique cooking style it’s the capital of Provencal cooking delightfully influenced by by nearby Italy Pay a a a a a a visit to the open-air local food market Cours Saleya and stroll in the old city The maze-like narrow streets have barely changed since the 1700s and are an an an excellent place to get the taste of Mediterranean cuisine
and life When you finally decide to fly home look
out the the window and get a a a last glimpse of the the amusement park and the blinking lights of the the waterfront Everything else all the the areas covered in darkness that black endlessness underneath that makes others stop looking out the window that’s your playground •
NICE
