Wow, French Riviera!

Hey folks, I escaped from France, though not in the direction I originally intended. I couldn't get a train out of Barcelona, so I had to skip it. My consellation is three extra days in Switzerland, starting with Geneva, which seems nice, but it's like I'm still in France because hey, they speak French here.
Anyhow, Nice was awesome. Not a cloud in three days, beautiful beaches and big hilly landscapes. I caught the fireworks over the Azur on Bastille Day, which made up about 50% of me missing the 4th. Less, probably. Anyhow, the hostel in Nice was great, what with that gourmet chef and 1 euro beers. Definitely a great place to relax and get a little tan. Taking a dip in the salty Riviera bay was one of the more refreshing things I've done. Ever. Floating on my back, watching yachts move out to sea and seeing hills filled with villas behind me (not too mention a large beach) was nothing short of blissful.
Tomorrow will be spent touring Geneva, and maybe getting out on the giant lake (Lake Geneva) for a little paddling. Then it's off to the extreme sports capitol of Europe, Interlaken, for two days of mountain hiking.
It's really freaking hot in Europe right now, just check the weather if you don't believe me. I hope it cools of slightly up in the Alps, but I know I'll miss the weather when I spend my last day in Holland. A nice rain shower would be fitting....
