I've been a bit under the weather. Only metaphorically. The actual weather has remained superb. We have been very lucky. It's probably the first really good week that Nice has had in the past couple of months.

Yesterday we made my ritual trek around Cap Ferrat - a walk which used to be quite adventurous, but which now is mainly an easy stroll. There were a few parts that tested Craig's vertigo, but he managed it. It was his personal best time and my personal worst. I've been developing a cold for the past three or so days and by yesterday it was beginning to have a physical effect. It was bad enough for me to be happy to come back home after we had finished, rather than attempt a tour of the Villa Ephrusse and its gardens.

On the way to Cap Ferrat we had a couple of slight problems. First I had imagined that it was the number 15 bus rather than the number 81. Then we had to trek to another part of JC Bermond station to find the actual stop. Then, when we actually got ON the bus, Craig's 7-day pass got stuck in the validating machine. This led to a delay. The driver got on the phone. By the time we got to the port, a man appeared with a key to unlock the machine.
