Saturday (Nice, France)

We decided to take it easy this morning. Our tummies were hurting from all the food we've been eating and we were feeling a bit "plugged up" so we just had fruit from the buffet line for breakfast. The fruit seemed to work much faster than expected and we spent the next few hours close to the bathroom. We tried to get off the ship about 10:30 am but I wasn't convinced we were ready to leave the ship and finding a toilet in the city might be a challenge so we had a relaxing morning on the deck chairs viewing the quaint French village across the way. We ended up leaving the ship around noon and going for a walk through the town. We made it to the train station and thought it would be fun to go to Monte Carlo and see all the fancy cars but the trains seemed to be running late and we only had 3 hours in port now. It would be a bummer to miss the ship at this point in the trip. Unfortunately we didn't see much of France... maybe next time? We had a nice dinner and enjoyed our last night on the ship. One disturbing note we saw while watching the news: A small headline running across the bottom of the screen indicated that Alitalia (our airline carrier) has filed bankruptcy. We are hoping that won't affect us at all.
