May 20 to 21 2011 - Nice to Cannes
IN NICE
20.05.2011 - 20.05.2011
25 °C
Today we took bus 81 to the Ephrussi de Rothschild Museum. The 30-minute trip hugs the coast high above the sea with truly glorious views. And that was the hightlight of the visit; the museum charges an astonishing EU12 per person and unless you really like porcelain, the place is a complete rip-off. The building was completed in 1912 and is very average; the location and views are superb and the gardens are good. I have nothing more to say except, don't bother.
After returning to the town, we walked for kilometres along the Promenade des Anglais, ending up in the Sporting Plage for early evening drink
By the way the transport system in Nice, and the rest of the Cote d'Azur, is really well thought-out and fares are just EU1 per trip regardless of the distance. For EU4 you can get a pass for unlimited trips on 1 day and for only EU15 you get a weekly pass
Saturday we were up early for a swim before we headed off to Cannes. The Mediterranean was freezing cold ; it could not have been more than 18C. Memo - swim in the afternoon in future
