Eze Village

The drive to the village offers a wonderful view that is typically Provence. You see interesting homes built all the way round the cliff, accompanied by lovely view of the sea all the way up. The village itself is quaint but has been converted to a very touristy place. You see quaint shops all around and enjoy exploring the unique structures. As usual, there is a church up at the top. This one has a cemetary. I went to explore it with a group of tourists from UK, looking at the inscription on the tombstones. Met a nice couple from HK too.

After I said bye to them, found a garden path forking off the main path and head that way. But, I started heading up again when it seems to spiral all the way down since I was afriad to miss the next hourly bus. On my way up, I found another path forking off to a nice picnic spot offering a great view of both the sea and a private garden. Happily sat down on the bench to enjoy the view. It was in moments like these that made the world at home seem very far away and surreal. It is also in moments like these that you came to mind and I missed you most. Always wishing that you were there to share the moments with me.

From Eze Village, I headed off to Monaco. I didn’t really like Monaco cos it felt like the place for the rich and famous. I saw lots of beautifully dressed people arriving in posh cars in front of the main entrance of some posh hotel. It was like a scene from Hollywood. Lots of people lounging around pristine looking cafes. I headed out toward the waterfront, took a quick look, decided I don’t like the place and headed on a bus back to the hostel.
