Villefranche was yet another tender port, which means boats take you from the ship to the dock, and vice versa. The title of this post is a play on words as our excursion for the day was called "Nice and Eze" (pronounced niece and eh-zay).

The excursion started in the afternoon, which meant we had all morning to explore the scenic villas and streets on the hillside above the port.



After a lunch at a local cafe, we embarked towards Eze, a medieval town nestled in the hilltops which contrasts old world charm with new world opulence in its exclusive chateau/hotel.

The view from the gardens atop Eze are breathtaking. Some of my pictures look like they were taken from an aircraft.

After the scenery in Eze, it was time to move on to Nice where we got a brief walking tour of the market and the city streets before enjoying a wine and cheese tasting in a local wine cellar.



Sadly the end of our cruise is at hand... Tomorrow is a day at sea, followed by returning to the port of Barcelona.
