Sight Seeing in Nice
Monday 4th, we got up late, had breakfast then walked 4 or 5 kms around the streets of Nice looking for a restaurant to eat in that night. We found an interesting one that serves 1kg mussels 5 different ways for $8 euros 90, so that looked the likely one.
After that we did some scheduled sight seeing to a pretty, old, walled village-St Paul of Evance. Whilst it was pretty, the hills were a bit of a killer in the humidity and heat.

Then we drove on to Cannes which is the world capital of Mutton Dressed as Lamb. I didn’t feel like being thrown out of the bus for a one hour walk, but in the end we had a lovely walk past all the huge yachts and boats at the marina which was great. The lifestyle of the rich and famous is amazing on the Riviera.
Russ and I both went back to the room feeling a little off, so he lay on the bed and read and I sat at the computer and copied my notes for the past few days to word documents ready to cut and paste to the Blog.
At 8.30, we felt a bit cooler and rested so we walked to the chosen restaurant for a fantastic dinner. We shared a chef’s plate consisting of lettuce leave piled with potato salad, bacon, pine nuts basil and a beautiful dressing then surrounded by tomatoes, white asparagus, duck pate, and croutons topped with smoked duck slices. Yummmmm. I don’t think I have ever eaten a nicer starter. Then Russ had 1kg of Mussels Provencale and I had a huge pepper steak. We had a litre of wine and the whole lot still only cost us 50 euros.
