beware of scams
I was warned that a couple of scams that happen on the street are that somebody would pick up s coin in front of you a £ or a euro, they would then ask if you could change it for them. whilst you are getting your money out they would snatch your purse.I didn't see this happen but our rep told me it had happened a couple of times in the summer when there were a lot of tourists.Walking around the tourist centres men come up to you and say they are waiters in your hotel, they want to engage you in conversation then take you to thier shops which are usually a bit out of the way. I think they also comunicate with each other because one of them knew which hotel I was from then later another man said "hello you are from the Riviera I am a waiter in your hotel."
