Riding a Bike to the Beach

This video is from my trip to the beach two days ago with Jason and two lovely Aussies that we met in Nice. We rented bikes from the tourism office for two euros for the day and headed off with only a map of downtown and a vague sense of which way south was to guide us. We ended up first at a Maison De Vins, and being hot and thirsty despite the fact we had only been riding for about twenty minutes, we decided to stop and have a wine tasting.
After purchasing two bottles we continued on our way, first across a highway overpass, then down a rutted trail through bamboo along the side of a canal and finally to a paved path through salt marshes. On one side of the trail there were pink flamingos grazing in the marshes, and on the other were rows of sailboats lining the length of the canal.
The quality of the light is really fantastic and I hope the glow shows in the videos and pictures. If I were a filmmaker or photographer you couldn`t get me to stop shooting when it looks that pretty.
