We travelled from Barcelona back into France to the French Rivera, and stayed 2 nights in Antibes. This campsite was I bit different from the ones we have already stayed in…we had to take all of our gear off the bus and put it on trailers and it was taken to our site by tractor!! That meant we had to put all the tents and cooking stuff on the trailer too!
We only had one full day here and it was a free day for us. We had the opportunity to go into Nice so we all had a day at the beach. The township of Nice is really nice, made up of lots of little streets and markets. It was such a hot day so we spent the day lying in the sun and swimming. The water was so warm and really salty so you just float without even moving! We bought lilo's for the day…they were perfect except they didn't all last that long!
That night we hit Monte Carlo Casino!! Wow it is huge and amazing!! You can only get in using your passport and every single one is scanned. The inside is exactly the same as the outside…amazing!! It was so cool watching the big card tables and games and so much money gets moved around each of the tables!! Few people on our tour had a bigish win…some up to 250euro! The highlight for most of us was just going in, getting the tokens and pulling the lever on the pokie machines!! On the trip there we stopped at a few viewing points and the views along the coast are beautiful!! The houses and insanely huge and every second car your pass on the road is a Ferrari!!
The casino was only the start of the night, back at the campsite there were another 2 contiki groups again so we had a good night!! Antibes was also the introduction of the bin!! The Bin…was at our campsite and as the bar was really full and then closed The Bin became the new cool place to hang out!! Conveniently it acted as a bar, wasn't as crowded and was very entertaining!! Everyone just wanted to hang out around the bin…after a while the security guard at the campsite gave up trying to get us to go to the bar or bed!
