... seen and spoken to, to date. <br> Set off mid morning to drive through Gorges du Verdon, again another stunning drive. This time though the weather was kind to us and we were able to get out for a hike after lunch.

Parting is such sweet sorrow, but we're happy to be heading home.<br><br>This has truly been a trip of a lifetime for us, a Bon Voyage.

Sunday was another beautiful day and I spent the day relaxing on the beach and people watching before my trip back to Italy in the morning. Over all a great time in Nice, and being there during Carnival was an added bonus. We leave on Thursday for Athens Greece for 5 days which should be a good trip. Till I write again Caio to all! Ron

Waking up overlooking the Mediterranean, we decide to stay here for another night. Today we want to soak up the atmosphere of Monaco and Nice.
