I'll spend tonight at the airport in Nice even though Linda's in a fine apartment in town tonight. I tried to think of all possibilities to avoid this unfortunate situation but this is the best I could work out.
1. My flight out leaves at 6:20 am, check in starts at 4:20.
2. Bike shop which held and stored the bike doesn't open till 10:00 am
3. The lovely apartment is a 5 flight walk up with turning stairs. Up and down not an option.
4. Airport left luggage hours are 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
So, basically... I needed to pick up the bike today for tomorrow's flight and I need to sit with it here at the airport. No one ever said this would be easy.
The lesson is not to schedule such an early flight. 10 or better yet one would have left me some options.
At least the snack bar has beer till 7:50 pm when they close. Not haute cuisine but I won't starve.
Linda and I did the flower market in Nice this morning. We took a very nice boat trip to San Tropez on Saturday. Lots of photos but a bit difficult to get to right now.
Back to work on Monday.
