Last night we had our "Farewell Dinner" and were sad to say good-bye to our pals Steve & Mary who did not do the post-extension to Nice. We were up by 7am and on the bus by 8am for the nearly four hour journey. We stopped around 11 in Aix-en-Provence, a quaint French town and had about a 30 minute guided walking tour of the old town. We were then given "free time" to explore the various cafés and have some lunch. Regrouped, hopped on the bus and drove another couple of hours before arriving in Cote d'Azur, the province of the French Riviera. We quickly could see the Mediterranean Sea on the horizon and as the guide explained about the area we were soon right on the shore line in the middle of Nice. Our hotel is right in the middle of a beautiful district and within ten minutes walking right down to the Promenade de Anglais, the walkway that runs right along the water. So Kim and I headed down to stretch our legs and admire the view. Later in the evening - on the advice of the AMA hostess we ventured out for dinner at a local restaurant. Tomorrow is a half-day tour of Nice and the surrounding area!
