In the last 5 days, I have done a lot of bicycling up and down mountains. It's been very difficult, but a lot of fun too. Plus, I have the added benefit of getting in better shape as I go which is additional motivation to ride. I was able to see cannes during the film festival, Monaco during the F1 Grand Prix, and Nice which has been my favorite city on the trip thus far. Also, I finally made it to Italy!
When I got to Italy last night, I was pretty beat from bicycling all day up some serious mountains. So I got a bed and breakfast for $70. It's in Ventimiglia and I'm going to put some photos/videos below of my trip through the south of France and the hotel.
This video below is from partway up the mountain between Nice and Monaco:
The below video is Ventimiglia, Italy at night. I was walking around and I just took a rudimentary video for you to see what it's like in a small town in Italy at night. This city was taken over by the Romans in 115BC.
