UPDATE 6/14: If you want to see ALL the photos from this leg of our trip, check them out here!:
What a great start to the trip! Over the last 4 days in the French Riviera, we saw many cities (Nice, Cannes, Monaco), small towns (St-Paul de Vence, Eze, Castellane), and beautiful scenery everywhere. The entire region is lined with the shimmering Mediterranean on one side, and mountains on the other. It has great food everywhere since the area is dotted with towns everywhere. Plus, the weather is absolutely gorgeous. Sun dresses (or t-shirt and shorts, if you prefer) during the day, plus a light sweater at night.
It did rain once since we got here. There was an afternoon thunderstorm in Monaco yesterday afternoon. Timing worked out for us since we had seen most of Monaco in by that time. It was a little nerve wracking though, when we had to run back to the car in the middle of the storm, in the middle of which Dave thought he lost his car keys. Just a small mishap to prepare us for bigger ones that I’m sure will come.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip so far:
Beautiful view from Parc in Nice. We walked to up to a waterfall in the part, just east of Old Town.
Le Suquet (old town) in Cannes
Hiking in Le Massif d’esterel, west of Cannes
Dinner in St Paul de Vence, a cute hilltop town overlooking the Mediterranean and the surrounding hills
Driving and hiking Le Gorge du Verdon
Birdseye view of the gorge
The harbor at Monaco
It’s 7AM on Monday morning now, and we are about to leave our campsite in Antibes for Cinque Terre. I’m sure there will be lots of stops along the way. See you in Italy!
Wow you guys either have great cropping skills or you've got some awesome photographer following you to take your pics (the ones with 2 of you). These are some nicely composed shots!
