Eze France October 12
The clock tower seen on the way in.
Eze is a photographers paradise with subjects of interest everywhere.
Great views, but I wonder what it's like in the winter? Will mention that later.
Big worldwide trip "bon voyage!)

We had our work cut out for us as there are no lifts or escalators! In fact, the paths are so narrow in spots and access so limited, that goods are delivered by a big motorised tractor tread cart about the size of a medium fridge, with the operator walking behind at the handle bar controls. Sorry, no photo. Watch your heads - ouch if you miss judge.

There are arches, narrow lanes and twist and turns everywhere. I wonder what it would be like negotiating these paths with the rain rushing down the steep sometimes un-stepped paths?

It's a quaint little village that has obviously seen the benefit of the tourist traffic by offering up boutique restaurants, ... shops and ...souvenir trinkets.

I had to laugh at the height of ambition seen in the Cafe Roule scooter adorned with a truck horn! I thought Nietche was German? Isn't he the atheist who on his death bed exclaimed, “Oh God, if there is a God, save my soul, if I have a soul” ? Question; How do you get rid of a sticker stuck to your finger? Easy in Eze – just stick it somewhere else. lol And this is where we detach ourselves for our next destination.

From Eze France we continued by coach to Nice.
Note the combination footpath cycleway on the scenic route. There is the seashore... ...and here is the beach. Anyone got a bucket for a rock pebble castle? Lol

I think the sign says, “beware of bikes” and if so, it is for good reason as they whiz silently by at a cracking pace – especially down hill. Electric bike rentals are popular in Europe... ...and strangely, Hogs are too, however the large tractor still seems out of place even in a congested European country town.

Produce, surprisingly including olives, is big time in Europe... ...and especially France where we found fruiting olive trees in pots lining the esplanade. Here is where Maree got really excited – candied fruit shoppe.

We found Nice to be a tidy town with modern transport and some weird light post fittings. The fountain was nice (pun)... ...and a brand new opera house.

This guy should have stopped back at this restaurant and had a minty... ...instead of being choked up in a traffic bottle neck like our bus. The peak hour not only trapped us, but an ambulance behind us with it's siren going the whole time. On the way out was this huge kiddy park with a massive wooden whale among other things for the little frogs to hop on and off. Avior Nice.
