Sometimes there's nothing better than doing nothing

Today was exactly what we both needed. We started the day off by sleeping in until 10:00, something I don’t think we have done yet the entire trip. We then took our time getting ready before boarding the bus to the port and arriving at the beach around noon. It was much hotter in the midday sun that it had been yesterday in the afternoon, so frequent dips were made into the cool Mediterranean water. We shared a baguette sandwich for lunch and pretty much did nothing but relax on the beach with the crowds for the next several hours. We finally had soaked up enough sun around 4:00 in the afternoon and decided to cool off back in the confines of our hotel room. We again made our way back to the center of town in the evening to have dinner. This time we decided on a pizza place that seemed to be very popular just across the street from the harbor. After dinner we walked back to the restaurant where we had dinner last night (as they had TVs playing the World Cup game) to have a few more drinks and watch the game, as it was already in progress. After watching Holland score their way to victory and to the World Cup Final we made our way back to the hotel. A perfectly relaxing day in the French Riviera.
