Today is a travel day - leaving Levanto around 11am and arriving in Antibes - after 4 trains. I’m actually writing this from the train - not live on the blog - but will copy and paste when we have an internet connection again.
Ahhh Antibes - when we arrived there was a Taxi stand right out front. After about 20 minutes, we decided to get a French SIM card for our phone to call for a Taxi. The cost - 25 Euros, with only 4 Euros worth of calls, at 50 cents per minute. We decided to forgo the phone and found someone who called the Taxi for us…. No answer. Turns out there was a bus strike that day, so the Taxis were very busy. We started to walk towards the town centre looking for a Taxi. We reached a square, and to make a long story short, we found a very nice person who called our hotel, and they came to pick us up. It was amazing how stuck we were.
Anyway, the hotel was nice - another very small room of course - but we had wi-fi in the room this time. Since we had no transportation, we walked about 10 minutes down to beach and had dinner at a restaurant overlooking the Sea. It was actually very nice and not too expensive. We both had a glass of wine, and Joanie had a huge Cesar salad, while I had a very tasty Linguine and clams. After a walk back to the hotel on a fairly balmy evening, I said to Joanie “vou le vous couche avec moi” and she said “oui”.
