A one hour and one euro bus ride took us directly from Nice Intl airport to Antibes. Another short bus ride and we're at Cap D'Antibes at the tip of the peninsula. It is a short walk to the Mediterranean (Plage des Ondes) with an excellent swimming beach, snorkeling, and to our surprise a 2-hour coastal walk meandering past the vacation estates frequented over the years from Charlie Chaplin to the Kennedy's. The stone path hugs the rocky shoreline with racing sailboats and yachts motoring by and views up to the Maritime Alps, our final segment of the GR5 a month from now. After 4 days here we are rested and relaxed. (Too relaxed??) The reintroduction to France has been marvelous from cafe au lait with croissants, to salade nicoise and fresh fish, not to mention the baguettes. It is definitely time to start walking!
