Castle in the Air

Just north of Menton, we visited a castle which had not been restored.  All of these castles are on the highest ground in the area which means that there is usually quite a climb from the parking lot up.  This one was no exception.  When we got to the top, we were in the clouds, for which we were grateful because of the height.  (Also being unrestored there were no safety precautions and signs warning one to explore at their own risk.)

A change of plans...While in Bengaluru, Joe got sick and we decided that rather than seeking medical attention in Indian, we would change our plane tickets and head to Paris, where we have been able to rent an apartment in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne.  Joe has recovered, but I got sick and have been taking it easy.  So now we begin a French adventure.

Sunday: A Day of Rest

 Today we took it a little easier, enjoying a wonderful buffet breakfast at our hotel before heading out to Cubbon Park which was created in 1870.  In the park and surrounding it, there were a number of buildings from the colonial days, now being swallowed up by the modern city.  We walked about thirty minutes from our hotel to the park (not a small feat given the traffic and lack of functioning pedestrian crossing lights) and then had a leisurely stroll through the gardens.  Many Bengalureans were doing the same. We also visited an Indian crafts shop on the way to the gardens.   The final photo is from our hotel room.
