Our day started out with a pastry from the corner pattiserie (bakery). Then we walked from one end of old Nice to another (3 1/2 hours). The pictures Kristin took best describes what we saw. Old buildings, steep narrow streets, old churches, town squares. We walked up to the top of the hill overlooking the town where the original town was built for defense purproses. The view of the Mediterranean Sea was stunning.
On the way back to our room we stopped at the daily market for fresh figs and nectarines. Bought some cheese and a baguette and had lunch on the patio on the roof of our bulding. Even tho the weather was deteriorating, we were able to enjoy the morning.
Went back to our room and I fell asleep (the result of a lot of walking and a lot of stairs). Afterwards we stopped at the train station to buy our ticket to Cinque Terra, then walked around looking at shops. Started to pour rain so we headed back for the hotel and I thought it would be a good evening for a nice dinner out. We found a reasonably priced Italian restaurant and had a nice meal.
Tomorrow we head by bus for Monaco for the day. That will be our last day in France.
