Villefranche
Today was my last visit to Villefranche during this contract…kind of sad as it was the first port I sailed to after signing on. I did a tour that took me to Nice in the morning, Eze following that (with lunch), and then another visit to Monaco. Nice was nice and was my first time walking in the city instead of merely driving through it. We walked through the flower market and that older part of the city. It was nice, being in Nice, but the tour was limiting and didn’t allow us a lot of time to see things other than where the tour guide took us.
Then we went to Eze, a medieval city up on a cliff overlooking the Med. It was really similar in design to St Paul, where I stopped last tour in Villefranche. I liked the area, got some great pictures, and then had a really nice chicken lunch that was included in the tour.
Following Eze, the group went to Monaco and Monte Carlo, both stops I had done on a previous tour. So this visit, I just walked around different areas, checked out some gigantic yachts, took pictures of some beautiful cars, and walked along the race track. The weather didn’t exactly favor an outdoor excursion, but I made the most of it and had a great time. Then I just came back to the ship after the 9 hours and enjoyed the remainder of my night off.
