After an included breakfast at the hotel (where I ate my body weight in baguettes again…French bread is tasty) we headed off for a day of train riding. From Arles to Marseille was about an hour, then we had a lunch stopover at the train station followed by another 2 hours on the train to Nice.
After arriving, we walked to our hotel and had an hour of downtime before going on an orientation tour of Nice. The sunset views from the lookout point and the old castle were pretty amazing, an iPhone doesn’t do them justice.
Then it was off to dinner at Taca d’oli which was absolutely amazing. B calls it as equal to the delicious casserole we had the other night in terms of taste and when you add in the spotless service…we might have a winner so far on the trip!
Bs entree of octopus salad. and my stuffed. veggies
my main of amazingly tender roast beef and gnocchi, B had two types of fish on a skewer
Tomorrow: exploring the village of Eze and then relaxing on the “beach” here in Nice, assuming my head cold (thanks sick people on our tour) eases up

cinque terre is on my bucket list .. the food your enjoying looks soo tasty as do the photos , gorgeous 🙂
I don’t think I’ll be walking the trails as the two “easy” ones are washed out and only the very difficult ones remain…so train ride between towns for me! A little disappointed but I know my limits and those two difficult ones are quite hardcore from what I read. B is looking forward to being a mountain goat 🙂
