The French Riviera, Part 3

Nice, France


Said "Niece." Although...Nice was nice.  Just a short train ride away, this was definitely a city, not a town, on the French Riviera.  It was lovely and classy and hot and beachy.  The shopping was plentiful, the wine was delicious, and while I never spent a day on the beaches here, they were beautiful.

Once, when we were eating at a restaurant and couldn't connect to the wi-fi, our server left his phone on our table during our entire meal to let us connect to his internet hotspot.  A moment of immensely appreciated kindness for disconnected crew members.
A lovely day with my dear friend Kristine and the coast of France





A beautiful, seemingly abandoned carousel
Delicious French macaroons!




I found this beautiful bouquet and carried it with me, shopping in Nice.  If only it weren't prohibited to bring fresh flowers on board.  I savored their beauty for the day at least!









All Aboard!
