Drove down through torrential rain checked in and wandered around. First impressions very positive - maybe because it finally stopped raining!?

Very pleased with our accommodation. Just round the corner from the station on the south side of the old town and sadly the shopping area.

Very few high rise buildings and a good range of architecture through the ages.
The graffiti certain adds atmosphere to the grandeur of the wall, bet the bloke who built it would be impressed.
Very reminiscent of Prague, and for that matter the red roof architecture of many Eastern European cities. However the grandeur of the courtyard (pictured later) and graffitied wall are so Praguesque if you hadn't said where you where I would have assumed Eastern Europe. Very interesting.

It is a reconstructed medieval village. We nearly did not go because the reviews called it a "fake" but in fact it was great fun and very well done.

Another sunny day and a chance to explore the city. The grid pattern of streets makes it easy to navigate with lots of small, individual shops. Well you can't have everything. ....

Well who would have believed it? 50 years! Had a super lunch at Eataly (Italy) - geddit. It's a supermarket specialising in Italian regional products with various places to eat scattered throughout.Okumaya devam et
Oh it's a cake. Obviously Nigel, otherwise known as the Grasse pyromaniac, wasn't in charge of the candles .....
