Villefranche-sur-mer (Nice)

Spent the day roaming around Nice. Old town, market (photo is of a gazillion different kinds of salt--each had s recommendation for best use) promenade along the coast and even a visit to the cemetery where Matisse is buried (supposedly--we never managed to find his tomb) and Mercedes, as in the cars (we did see his tomb). Nice is beautiful, and is much more than a playground for the rich.

Also got a chance to walk around the lovely but very steep Villefranche-sur-mer before heading back the ship.

Wandered around a bit on our own, then met our very interesting walking tour of the old town. Then late lunch of "brodet", a Croatian seafood stew, and grilled calamari. Then waddled to the bus and back to the ship.

Travel day spent on the train, so not much to say about that. Nice countryside that looks a lot like California. However, our hotel is formed by two small Mudejar buildings built in the first third of the sixteenth century. Very cool, though the room presents a few challenges. Photo shows part of the lobby (originally a courtyard of one of the houses). Delicious dinner of salmon in some kind of orange sauce.
