National Pride... and Wayne's
July 14, 2008
Monday night was by far the most memorable for me. It was Bastille Day
so we knew it would be great. There were fireworks all along the coast
and we could see them. At the beach, very much like our own grand
Australia Day, there were underage kids drinking and hippiess flinging
burning balls around. We sat and watched and listened for a while and
found out that when they say pebble beach- slight understatement. It's
a rock beach, even boulder beach would be more fitting.
We went back to Waynes after a wander in the night markets around Vieux Nice, this time I was more prepared for hot and sweatyness so I didn't feel so gross. The most memorable parts are thanks to the amazing people that we met. It's ok everyone I'm not naming names since I don't remember any. Here is the shortened list:
The DRUNKEN French Sailors
The Aussies- all of them, you guys rocked
The Sexuality Confused Danish Guys
The Ninja of Nice (aka Homeless man doing "kung fu" moves and bumming cigs)
The Lead singer of last night's band
The Swiss who kept buying us rounds
The Guy with crazy hair
The Doorman at the second bar
The Girl who kept making out with the guy while he was trying to sing in the band
The Irish Guys who walked us all the way home and hung out til 6am
Loved it.

you can't visit Nice without dropping into Wayne's
There is a reason why there is a group on Facebook about this place. You can't go to Wayne's and NOT LOVE IT! The bar is on the contiki's must-do list so the place is always packed with laughing, crazy travellers (a good percentage of whom seem to be Aussie). They have live music every night and dancing on table is considered the norm. They close around 2am so it doesn't seem to get that rowdy (I should know, was dragged there 3 nights in a row). Don't worry there is a pub down the street that opens at 2am to save the hurt and confused party-goer. It is never quiet, never dull and never short of a pint of your favourite.
