Today will be another fairly lazy day. We plan to take the train in to Nice and just spend the day wandering around. Charlie and I were there a few years ago on an organized tour and we did not get much time to spend in this very pretty city. I especially enjoyed walking thru the Flower Market. Hope to have a nice lunch with some good french wine....maybe even STEAK TARTARE!
We had a nice surprise just before we left home. Our friend from Germany, Alexandra Risnes, called us and said that she and her parents would try to meet us in Nice and spend the day with us. Got an email on the ship....our friends are coming!!!
Charlie and I got off on the first tender in Villefranche. Pam and Mike decided to take the day off and just go in later and walk around Villefranche. We headed to the train station and caught the train in to Nice.

Breakfast with Alexandra, Wilhelm and Ursula at the Nice Flower Market. They drove all night and haven't had any sleep. It was so wonderful to see them!
Beautiful flowers
We went back to our friend's hotel. Their room still wasn't ready but we just sat around and had a good visit. Ursula took a little nap!
We went to a little French restaurant close to their hotel. We had a wonderful dinner and I had my Steak Tartare!
Even though Alexandra, Wilhelm and Ursula were so tired, they insisted on taking the train back to Villefranche and walk us to the tender dock.
We had a wonderful day with wonderful friends.
