After leaving Lyon,
we made our way to Nice. Before reaching Nice, we had a stop at the city
of Avignon. A brief walk around the
city and the Papal Palace, before a quick meal, and then back on the coach
to Nice. We were greeted by white beaches,
and blue water in Nice, and wonderful buildings.
A quick change of clothes, and we were off to Monaco for dinner.
After taking a few photos of this
glamorous city, moved on to dinner, and were a stones throw away from the
Royal Palace. It was hard to leave
the resurant, but the famous Casinos were beckoning. I had a go at the Bljackjack
tables, and managed a small win.
We next day was ours to explore Nice at leisure. A few people visited Cannes,
but I decided to wander the back streets and walk along the beaches.
We left Nice the next day, and on the way to Florence we stopped at the
Leaning Tower of Pisa. I cannot
believe it is still standing. We arrved in Florence
late in the afternoon and were taken to a lookout for the Group
Photo. Next stop was a wonderful dinner,
before partying on at Space Electronica.
Next morning, we visited a leather demonstration, before joining our guided
walking tour of the city starting at Piazza della Signora.
We saw The Duomo, and Santa Croce, but I had a goal
to visit Ponte Vecchio. After braving the heat, I thought I would come out
at the famous landmark, but I was in the wrong place. Rushed back through
the centre of Florence, I met up with the group on the steps of Santa Croce,
and we were off to Rome. |
