The train trip along the Cote d'Azur was very picturesque, a fantastic day. Snow through the mountains from Turin through northern Italy into France but very warm by the time we arrived in Nice. Had lunch at a cafe in Ventimiglia by the sea, and the last Cappucino in Italia.

Some of the through ways are seriously scary. This was a signposted lane through to St Marco square that was narrow at the base, bowed inwards at the middle. I walk smartly through.

A great way to get around the city. We were offered a complimentary water taxi over to the glass factory at Murano with a very interesting tour courtesy of the tourist bureau. Fascinating. Then of course a guided walk past all the fabulously expensive glass with no real pressure to buy. So on we went wandering about the island. The weather is so lovely, cool but fine.

Eva cooking a fantastico dinner of Tortellini, Ravioli, Olives, Pane, freshly grated Parmesan and of course vino but only for mama and papa.
