First Nice Coastal Hike

 We spent the day hiking along the coast between Nice and Villefranche.  The scenery of this footpath, which hugs the cliffs, was amazing.  Making it to Villefranche, we found the restaurant which had been recommended to us by our friends Bob and Anne who used to spend winters in Nice.  We were not disappointed with the food.  By the time we finished lunch, it was late afternoon and rather than walk back to the hotel over Mont Boron on a very steep and snaky path, we took the train one stop back to the stop near our hotel (again being amazed at the public transit system).

    It's GREAT that you two are getting out for such interesting walking-hiking! Good for the body and soul and a bonus that there is such good food awaiting along the trail. Enjoy!

    Have a great time in Nice. I have been in Nice many years ago. The Cote Azure is surely a beautiful place.

    And walking works wonders doesn't it, especially when it morphs into elevated hiking? A willow cane really helps!

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.
