| The church in town |
This was our second excursion day from the cruise ship. We had hired another private tour guide to meet us at the dock. She took us first to the medieval village of Eze, located between Cannes(our port, think Cannes film festival :) and Monaco, our second stop. On our way to Eze, we stopped once to take pictures of the whole town itself, a gorgeous sight to see. Then she took us right into the base of the city and we walked to the top. We stopped on the meandering streets to go inside the beautiful(and bright orange) church, which was filled with gorgeous frescoes and statues. We shopped and walked and finally made it to the top where we found an exotic garden and absolutely AMAZING views of the French countryside and ports. This viewing area is found at the prior location of the castle of Eze, (now just a few walls and bronze statues). Let me just say, it was well worth the hike to the top. And of course, a day wouldn't be complete for me without falling and embarrassing myself and this was no exception. On the way back down I slipped and fell full out. :) All in a day. Back on the road again, now, we headed of to Monaco, our second stop.
