The ship was anchored at Villefranche sur mer this morning as the sun rose at breakfast time 7am . We were on the first tendered boat to shore as we wanted to make the most of the day. We got a day pass and caught a bus to Nice and got off at the Harbour and walked around the waterfront to the promenade . We climbed the steps of the cliff for a view over the promenade . We walked then to the flower/food market and into the old town for a good wander. Awesome . We then caught the tram up the main street but not quite as far as Lyndies wedding dress shop and walked back stopping at the church and at a few shops .We looked at the fountains at place Massena and used the toilets at macca before walking up the promenade to where Lyndie and I lived for 2 weeks at #77 We caught the bus back and another bus to the hilltop village of Eze . Here we walked the beautiful cobblestone alleys and had a drink at a cute cafe which gave us some complimentary olives and m and Ms . Highlight of the day . We walked the Neitze path down to Eze station 45 min on very rough path with some great views . Once down we waited for a bus to take us back to Villefranche . After 45 min wait be were started to worry but the bus did come .It was jammed full and we had to sqeeze on but we were not going to be left behind for fear of missing our boat back to the ship. We got back to Villefranche with an hour to look around before our boat was due to depart. It was a bit of a rushed look but we saw the obscure street , church and walked along the waterfront. Back on the ship we headed for the hot tub up on the pool deck with a great view as we departed and followed the coast down past Monaco. We then did trivia and went to dinner where we met 3 Nord women friends celebrating their 40th birthdays. A great Day!
