Eze and Nice

Why is everything uphill in Europe? Both ways? We have an early start and are on the tender by 9:30 AM. We take a bus up to Eze which is a small village at the top of the mountain. It is called a hanging town, since it is on the side of a mountain. Another beautiful day here; sunny and 20C. The scenery is amazing. Plenty of rich people houses everywhere. The old town where the castle is comprises of narrow cobblestone streets that meander every which way. It is full of tourist shops and small cafes. The views from the top are great. I like how the flowers grow into the rock sides.

We bus back to Nice. Our guide takes us on a walk by the water to the town. We see the beach which is 7 km long. Beautiful blue water, people swimming and lazing around on the beach. This is the start of the summer season and not too packed yet. We head to the market area. Our guide shows us where the toilets are. Laura needed to use them. The guide didn't stop to let anyone use the facilities just kept on walking. We lost her in no time. So we are on our own now. Let's eat. We find a gluten-free bakery and restaurant. I have a cornmeal omelet and Laura does fruit pancakes.

After we walk the streets. Laura has found some antique stores she wants to check out. They are antiques but mostly junk, in my humble opion. Laura wants to go to the beach to get a rock for Ni. I cave half way there. She will have to pick me up on the way back. I'm not sure where to pick-up the bus and we only have an hour left.

We found another tour from Norweigian coming back to Port. The nice lady contacted the office who contacted our tour guide. Apparently we were supposed to meet at the opera house at 4 PM. We don't know where that is. The bus is leaving at 4:30, so we are staying at the port and having a coke.

We have made it on the bus!!! Now back to the ship to.put my poor feet up. It is only 4:30 and I'm up to 12000 steps.

We have a nice dinner and then I think we are both done for the day.Read more
