The morning we had breakfast, (basically just bread, juice and coffee) as prepared by Genevieve, and met New Zealand people who were also on their way to Monaco. They suggested that we also go to Eze (another medieval town on top of a hill) which is basically half-way between Nice and Monaco. So after breakfast we walked to the train station and took the train to Eze station. We were about 50 minutes to early for the next bus to Eze (which leaves every hour) so we strolled down to the nearest pebble beach to put our feet in the water. Fifty minutes later we took the bus to Eze. Eze is a beautiful medieval city with a lot of stairs, small shops and narrow passageways. We made our way to the top where we found an exotic garden (aka Jardin Exotique)… basically a garden with a lot of cacti (not that exotic). From here we had a nice 360 degree view of Eze and the coast of Southern France. However, after 3 minutes in the sun we realised why only cacti grows up there and we hurried down to catch the next bus to the Eze train station from where we would go to Monaco.

There was a lot of Afrikaans...

The Vatican in a flash Jul 17 2010, 09:56 AMCape Town, South Africa11 photos For our last day in Rome we decided to visit the Vatican Museum, since we did not get to visit it during our previous trip to Rome (refer to Journal entry 41). Fortunately the closest Metro to the Vatican was also on our Metro line and we were “there” at about 8:55. We then stood in the longest...

	48. Aida and the catacombs Jul 16 2010, 02:46 PMRome, Italy9 photos Our first mission for the day (besides the getting to Rome part) was to see the catacombs and the second to watch Aida at the Baths of Caracalla. On our way to the bus station we saw our first accident in Italy (really a surprising first considering the way they drive). I heard a hard sound and...
