Tuesday, July 1st - Day Two

Cap d'Antibes, Nice

We got up and did our morning exercise with a walk along La Croisette.It is basically this huge long street lined with palm trees and on one side you have the sea and all the private beaches with lovely yachts and cruiseliners in the distance and on the other, unbelievably beautiful fancy hotels and expensive shops like Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana. I did not plan the days, only the nights as I knew they needed free time. I knew some would sightsee, some would sun, some would shop and some would just be. It was a fortuitous insight.

Tuesday night we went to the Bond-esque Cap D’Antibes and the famous Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc, the hotel to the rich and beyond famous (Tom Cruise is a current guest) where a week's stay could buy a small house. Eden Roc, set into the coastline below the hotel, presents a jaw dropping venue. From here earth, sea and sky seem as if physically arranged for maximum-WOW!

Eden Roc is a restaurant where staggering food is only the start and the rest will leave you legless. It’s difficult to imagine this being normality and in a way I’m happy to keep it like that because we know, I don’t do normal.
