THe airport in Nice had a stand to put my bike together, which was awesome. I was on almost no sleep, though, and there was so much to put on my bike that it took me about 3 hours. I was very frustrated and almost wanted to turn around and go home.
But I finally got it together and was ready to go.
I spent two days in Nice and was able to walk around the city, thanks to my wonderful host, Christelle from Warm Showers.org.
I gave her a Laek House hat for her generous hospitality.
Nice was really beautiful and I was so glad to have the two days to get myself ready for my tour. Christelle was the best host I could have hoped for!!!

When they weighed my boxes at the airport, I think my bike was like 23 kg, including some random stuff like shoes = you can see in the photos. My bags were 18 kg. I want to go to a truck weigh station and weigh the whole thing but I have not found one yet.

I think a truck weigh station would yell at you, at least they would in the states. That would be interesting to try.
It’s cool you found such a nice host.
Your bike looks really heavy, but you can do it.
Nice pink handle bars.
Stay hydrated!
