This has certainly been an interesting day. We took a flight from Berlin to Nice on EZJet which should be renamed the Screaming Baby Express, got on a bus to Nice city center and immediately we both wanted to leave. Nice is Panama City Florida but 10,000 times more expensive with nothing but Euro Kids dancing around to techno music while North African Halal butchers give you death stares that send shivers down your spine. Since we didnt have a room booked or anything we decided to get on the next train out of the French Riviera which will be at 6 am to Barcelona tomorrow which Im really excited about seeing.
Additionally, Ive come to the conclusion that my knee is not going to be able to cut it on our 150 mile Camino De Santiago trek in Northern Spain a week and a half from now. Greg still wants to do the hike even though I cant, so I have to decide what to do. If i were a betting man I would put money on my going and spending some time in Dublin with Lauren. Well see what happens though... stay tuned.
And to summarize...

Sorry about your knee man. Is it the weather?
You'll love Barcelona- a truly different city! Watch out for the pickpockets, though- they almost got Dad.
Sorry about your knee- you are wise to not push it. No more surgeries-- (too many already). You won't get the certificate and absolution from your sins, but you'll see the city and know the story of Santiago de Compestela!
p.s.
I didn't care for Nice, either. Better to visit the northern coast, particularly Normandy if you can.
I'm glad you got out of Nice unscathed - take care of the knee - it still needs rest - full healing will take another year.
If I was a betting man I would bet you'll be in Dublin for the week.
take care
