A beautiful day stretched out in front of us, and we were back in our beloved France. Being new to this whole cruising thing, we navigated the whole tender ticket thing and before we knew it, we were docking in the gorgeous port of Villefranche.
Our tender:
Villefranche is a gorgeous little seaside village.
We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather.
Again, I made the mistake of using the little French language I have by asking confidently where the train station is. Again, I received a reply in rapid French that left is wandering off in the direction the French Monsieur pointed.
Eventually, we did find where we needed to be.
The views from the station were spectacular...something we got to enjoy for a prolonged period of time due to an eternally delayed locomotive.
Cheers erupted where the train towards Monaco arrived and we were eventually on our way...
2 stops later, we were at Eze sur-Le-Mer Station and we made our way up the bus stop.
Unfortunately, it was Sturday - a weekend day in the South of France - worse than island time! We waited for about an hour for one of the 3 buses that was making it's way that day up to the village.
The view whilst we waited was pretty though.
Finally we were taking our lives in our hands and and made the death-defying bus ride up to this gorgeous little medieval village.
The views were spectacular however!
Finally we arrived in Eze and realised because it took so long to get there, we only had a limited time for a wander.
We had time for a little refreshment stop.
Then before we knew it, it was time to head back down 😕
Where we we made our way back to Villefranche and were tendered back to the ship.
Time for another delicious silver-service meal.
This is what we found in the bed when we got back to the cabin...
