Hillside village with clustered stone houses.

Here is the city where we started the climb. It dates back to Roman times.

A view of the first bridge we crossed (seen in the first photo).

Alex and I at the end of the climb. I worked up just a bit of a sweat!

Here is Marlene who motored up the mountain, she’s in amazingly good shape yet had no problem waiting for Alex and me as we plodded along behind her.

Alex and I on our way to a café for a much needed drink.

After the climb we went to chez Rizo for lunch and a bit of rest. Then we went on a long walk in Menton and followed it up with a refreshing swim in the Mediterranean.

A wonderful dinner of Paella with the eldest daughter of M. Rizo, Audette and her husband Bernard, their son Jonathon and of course Marlene, M. Rizo and Alex. A great way to end a perfect day.
