Eze

We'd never heard of this little cliff town near Nice, but when it was recommended to us we were quite firmly told we HAD to go to Eze. So, as usual, we did as we were told. And it didn't disappoint!

To start with, the bus ride up to Eze was one of the most scenic bus trips we've been on. With massive cliffs dropping off into the sparkling, azure Mediterranean. White yachts, launches, and super yachts were lined up or moving along the coast. It was pretty good.

We arrived and tucked into a deliciously flaky and crunchy (yet somehow soft?) croissant for breakfast. With some energy now in the tank, we climbed up the last part of the hill and into Eze proper. The streets were all narrow and winding, and it was full of cute little shops and restaurants. We bought tickets to the exotic garden and made our way up to the top.

The exotic garden was full of aloe and cacti, which somehow seemed right at home with the view out over Med. We spent a bit of time enjoying the view and getting our fill of pictures before heading back into the town for lunch. Vela ordered a yummy tomato based pasta and Nathan had what he thought would be a pizza, but turned out to be a bit of a cross between a pizza and an open top toasted sandwich. Very yum!Читать далее
