Day 13: visiting Eze and lazing on the beach of the French Riviera 

Beautiful weather here, 20C and very sunny. The warmest we have come across so far so definitely a shorts day – woohoo! 
Today was a free day (no tour leader to help us!) and we started off travelling as a group to the medieval village of Eze. This involved a tram and a local bus but we managed it with a team effort. We all then wandered around the local fort/castle which was very pretty but basically a giant hotel. Some of us found the lookout point but most of us didn’t (I was included with the latter mob) and then our groups split up. B and I headed back to Nice with another group member while the others stayed to walk some of the local trails.

After a tasty lunch at Hard Rock Cafe where I added to my glass collection, we headed down to the beach and paid the extortionate 10€ each to snag a sun lounger and enjoy a siesta + cocktails. As expensive as it was….it was pretty freaking nice to just laze in the sunshine and drink.

people in the water were crazy, it wasnt that warm!

 
Tonight’s dinner: a picnic down on the promenade! Should be delicious

P.S. Head cold is progressing from sore throat and feeling achey all over to just snot. So much snot and congestion and snot. Pharmacies here are useless (different laws mean no good drugs without a script) so all I have is strepsils and some nasal spray. 
P.P.S. Percy had a great day today:

 

percy loved his mango and banana cocktail
