My apologies for my lack of writing in the past few weeks
but I've been traipsing across France and my time to relax has been few and far
between.
I left Avignon yesterday
and I am now traveling with a great friend of mine in the French Riviera, the
start of my first real vacation and it has been absolutely spectacular.
The Côte d’Azur is one of the most
beautiful coastal spots that I have seen in a long while.
Our first two nights we are in a small
town outside of the hustle and bustle of Nice called Villefranche-sur-mer that
is quaint, with gorgeous beaches and perfect for the beginning of our short and
sweet vacation.
Today we went to
Italy, to a small town called Ventimiglia and then back to Monaco.
It being Sunday, not much was going on
anywhere but the Italians were very happy.
Monaco was insane, so much grandeur, but not as we expected
and we spent two hours looking for a grocery store which was nowhere to be
found, and the one we did find was closed.
We ended up spending a nice afternoon on the beach after
being underwhelmed at the Monte Carlo casino.
Then we came back to Villefranche, picked up our bags, waited
forty-five minutes for a bus because the five buses from the time we got to the
stop were “complet” and therefore they wouldn’t take any more passengers.
Just to spite the public transportation
system in the south of France, we didn’t “compost” our tickets, which means we
can use them tomorrow!
I’ll make
sure to update more frequently, if I have access to the internet.
