Today I was supposed to run a half-marathon... But due to some organisational difficulties (er, like not registering for it on time - excuses, I know...) I failed...So instead of this strenuous activity we decided to walk up to the site of the old castle of Nice, for some nice views over the city.
In the afternoon, we jumped in the car and drove down to the Italian Riviera. Our first stop was Bordighera, a seaside town near the French border. I felt pretty certain somebody had recommended the place for some reason, but a quick stroll around didn't excite a lot of interest in us.
So we drove on to Dolceacqua (which came highly recommended in my Eyewitness guide). It was a very nice town actually, with a most impressive bridge and a castle dramatically situated on a hilltop. We also visited a herbal exhibition - which interested Mathilde a bit more than me and Jocke I think ;-)
