Couchettes | --- | --- | 13:00 |
Jim was nice enough to let us sleep in today. Some decided to go swimming, but others went shopping, and a few slept in. Although, we had to check out of the hotel by 12:00 and leave for Eze at 13:00. Eze is a town kind of like St.-Paul-de-Vence, it is on a mountain side and has an exotic garden, full of cacti, at the top of the town. We shopped around for a little while and then went to the Fragonard perfume factory. They showed us how perfume, soap, and various other body products are made. We headed to Monaco next. We sort of went sightseeing in Monaco but mostly, we went shopping. The group I was with, Meaghen, Jacqueline, Ahava, and Carissa, found a vending machine that dispenses thong underwear, it's the most absurd thing we've seen so far. After leaving Monaco we went straight to dinner in Nice. Today quiche made up the first course. Chicken and macaroni noodles made up the second course. And a strawberry dessert for the third course was pretty good. After finishing dinner we headed for the train station to catch the train to Paris. Antonio and my roommates played Poker until a nice family of three took the other three couchettes in our six bed cabin. I have been writing this on the train with limited light. So far the ride has been partially uneventful, the train consists of only couchettes, so there is not much to do. The rest of the group's cabins are two cars up, so we have the nice and quiet car. Luckily for us...
