More tender catching, this time from Villefranche to
Nice to begin with. Coach up to a garden with a view
over Nice then back down for the
Land Train ride round ‘interesting’ parts of
Nice. What made it even more interesting was that
the headsets on our first train conked out (never
happened before we were told), and the train stopped
in a very smelly street blocking traffic. We
eventually returned back to the start for another
go on a different Land Train which worked - albeit
with a lot of deja vu!
We then had a long march to find public toilets in Nice - not the most fascinating, and Virginia and I got one or two things in a souvenir shop. Our guide may have been having an off day but twice she carried blithely on losing some of her followers.
The coach took us back to Villefranche not Nice,
a long walk to the docks where this time I accepted
the squash and cold towels the staff offered. A kind
gesture. Just in time for lunch and I had a stir fry
cooked in front of me. The afternoon quiz had a
question what state is Florida in.
We sat with Susan (her husband James Steve went to the Grand Prix) at table 79 for supper.
