Took the TGV from Paris to Nice today. 1st class - very nice. Costly, but nice. Our accomodation for the next few days was the Hotel Hi in Nice - a very funky place with the most unusual rooms Ive ever stayed in. First room was Rendezvous - with magnificent views over the town to the ocean. The room was decked out in Yellow, with a funky (but impractical) cast iron tub. We then moved to Indoor Terrace, with a bed suspended above the floor, and a garden seperating the bed from the glass paneled shower - the room painted in greens and blues. The fluro light under the bed made the room glow at night - very nice. The Hotel also has a Hammam in the basement - a steam room with adjoining massage and relaxation area. Apparently its a clothed steam room - our towels were strategic at times when other people entered. :) Their kitchen was amazing - lots of organic and heath concious foods - but at most times noone was around to serve from the kitchen, so we helped ourselves to Rice Pudding and such. Based on the hotel prices they could afford it.
