Very difficult to sunbathe here.  I was sunbathing actually in Nice one day, took my towel and was ready for a day, "on the beach", to get there and find the beach was made up of ROCKS!! Talk about PAIN.  These were not tiny rocks--they were BOULDERS.  It was very horrible.  I ended up with the sunburn of my LIFE!!--and then to sleep in a youth hostel with scary strangers in a bed with sheets that seemed to be made of cling free dryer sheets---wow--good times :) If only to be young again and take a 6 week backpacking tour through Europe!
