Our last day in the Cote d'Azur was a bit soggy (at least to begin with). We visited the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art followed by the Museum of Marshall Masena (one of Napoleon's mates). Amazingly both had free entrance! Next door to Masena's pad was the Hotel Negresco where we had booked that evening's dinner.

Now as you may have realised one of the things that N and I do well when we go away on holiday is eating!... and Nice proved to be no exception. Dinner on that last evening was at the top notch La Rotunda restaurant situated in Nice's most luxurious and exclusive hotels: The Negresco. Okay I must say the service was a bit snooty but the food was truly superb!! If you ever go to Nice - I urge you to have dinner at La Rotunda.

And that was pretty much it. Friday we sadly had to head off home. The 99 bus back to the Airport and then our BA flight back to Heathrow. Couldn't help feeling smug to see the Ryan Air flight had been cancelled and the Jet2 flight to Leeds was delayed - much to the inconvenience of a load of Northerners.

One last observation I want to make was the number of scrawny looking, hard faced, big nosed, chain smoking French women there were - and all of them looked like mutton dressed as lamb. Oh one other observation - Why do all French pharmacies have Vegas style neon lights that do special animation sequences to form a cross symbol. WEIRD!
