To Antibes...(clicking on photos makes them larger)

We left Paris and too the high speed train to Antibes, which is on the Mediterranean coast between Nice and Cannes.  Joe found us a lovely apartment in the old town which is in the centre of all of the action.  Antibes is a very tasteful tourist town with many outdoor cafes.  

Joe has been making some excellent meals.  Being so close to Nice, it only seems that salade niçoise is appropriate!  (Tuna, green beans, tomatoes, potatoes and olives on a bed of leaf lettuce.)

Our neighbourhood.

The Antibes Market (daily) is just around the corner from where we are staying.  Wonderful local produce.  We are amazed at how much local produce is in season.  Cheeses and meats are fantastic.

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...
