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.

Overnight in Japan

 The journey to Delhi from Kamloops was three flights.  We broke up the long flight from Vancouver to Delhi with an overnight in Tokyo.  The first was 9 hours, and the second 9 1/2  hours.  Air Canada is no longer flying direct from Vancouver to Delhi due to not flying over Russian air space, while Air India, like many Asian airlines, continues to fly over Russia.  A direct flight is 15 hours.   Mt. Fiji Tokyo Airport The smile is definitely before I saw the lineup for security! We went for a stroll when we arrived at the hotel in Tokyo.  We discovered a Pachinko Hall.  While gambling is illegal in Japan, Pachinko, a game somewhat like a combination of a pinball and a slot machine, is seen more as an amusement rather than as gambling.   Joe outside a Pachinko Hall Inside the Pachinko Hall The hotel where we stayed overnight was a few kilometres from the airport.   RV Sized Bathroom in the Hotel Breakfast Japanese Styl...
