Nice Day 2

Bit of an adventure today. We eventually got going and headed over toward the port district. Luckily, we arrived just before lunch, so the crowds were pretty small. We found a great place to eat at the Place de Pin. Sitting in the warm sun was a real treat after the last three weeks. Our Asian inspired lunches were excellent. My curry was listed as three peppers hot, but I personally would have only given it a one.
After lunch, we headed up the hill of the Colline du Chateau. This hill dominates the city and has spectacular views of the city, the mountains and the Mediterranean. Again, lots of people out enjoying the day. It's still cool, but the sun is out and it's quite lovely. Walked around the port area a bit, then headed back. In the afternoon, we took the tram as far as it would go into the foothills. We actually discovered this was not a place we'd like to be,though the views were really great. Not a particularly nice part of town.Read more
