Very quick post… we are meeting for dinner in 10 minutes. I prepared a lot of photos, but the upload is slow so I’ll upload most after dinner. Very scenic drive today along the coast with frequent views of French coastal cities and all of the tiny, wealthy Monaco. Short story of our little drama: our bus had a blowout just a few kilometers from our new hotel. The driver, Andrea, handled the situation extremely deftly, getting us to the shoulder, popping out with orange vest to place cones on the roadway, and calling the police who soon arrived to close the right lane. After an hour, a temporary bus arrived to take us into town, and within thirty minutes, the original bus was repaired and arrived with our luggage. Terrific handling by the driver and our guides, Johann and Daniela.
And as promised, more photos. These are Betsy’s covering approximately the first half of the trip.
I have two or three more galleries ready which I’ll upload later this evening.
