Wednesday, June 25: Early morning today with a 4:30am wakeup call to catch our plane to the south of France…hurry up and wait…the flight was delayed by an hour when one of the crew became ill and they had to get a replacement for him. Once the replacement arrived we were called to start boarding the plane. Air France, for domestic flights, does not assign seats so it was basically a free for all…first come first served sort of deal…Interesting, I was lucky that I was able to get an aisle seat…yippee.
A nice nap later we arrive in Nice and go the hotel in Antibes. Our rooms were not ready for us so some went to the beach, some stayed and played in the pool, Melissa and I went and scoped out the town. We leisurely walked and window shopped. Life times of the rich and famous must have originated here…lots of rich...didn’t see any famous except a young lady named Melissa. There were many beautiful yachts in the marina, many high end shops…the flea market was more our speed. While waiting on the shuttle to collect us and take us back to the hotel we sat in a lovely park and enjoyed watching local teenagers run around and play in the fountain. One of the type that just squirts water up from the ground at various levels and speeds. Melissa made the comment that she could picture some of our students at BCHS doing the same thing, I agreed.
We returned to the hotel to gather our things and take them to our rooms and relax for a little, looking at the Mediterranean from our balconies ( I have to almost jump off the balcony to see the Sea but I know it’s there ;-) An evening in Nice for dinner and more shopping…think Christmas and wonder what you might be getting….hee, hee!
We needed an easy day after the jet lag and hustle and bustle of Paris. Tomorrow we head to Monaco and Eze. I’m already thinking of doubling up on my allergy medicine…we’re touring the perfume factory…I can feel the sneezes coming on just thinking about it.
Until tomorrow….
