After our rainy excursion to Cannes, we were treated to an amazingly perfect day. Karim and I decided to take the train to Eze-sur-Mer and hike up the Nietzsche trail to the old village of Eze perched in the mountains. The views seen from the trail were unreal.

And a look up at how much ground we still needed to cover! |

Looking up at the old village - almost there! |

A sculpture garden built into the side of the mountain |
And it got even better when we made it up to Eze an hour later. Each turn through the winding cobblestone streets offered another visual treat - pale building facades coming together with the brilliant blue sky, secret passageways and bursts of brightly colored vines.

A favorite pastime - posing alongside a sculpture |

ReplyDeleteLiz, How much do I love that you wore a dress hiking :) Looks like you guys are having a great time...these pics make me want to visit ASAP!
ReplyDeleteThanks Selim and Erin! We are indeed having a great time.
ReplyDeleteErin - I would have dressed like a normal person for our hike but I had sun poisoning on the backs of my legs and the dress provided the best coverage! Come visit!!!!
