the Opera de Nice

After taking the lift back down the hill with her and herself, we thought we would spend the day being a bit more cultured.  The girls decided to go to the Theatre de la Photographie et l'Image but we thought we'd prefer the opera.  That was until we saw these two great hulking brutes walking threateningly towards us.  We took refuge up a tree, until her and herself could come along and rescue us!

the easy way up the Colline du Chateau

Olaf and I had much more sense and hitched a ride with Noddy and Dobbin with their trusty wagon.  We arrived at the top refreshed and ready for action!!

the top of the hill

Her and herself had read on Tripadvisor that the No.1 thing to do was the Colline du Chateau.  Her and herself thought that they would have a leisurely stroll up through the gardens looking at the views on the way.  This is a view from the top that we took as her and herself did not realise that there were hundreds (literally) of steps up from the promenade....

the exit

shortly after we took this photo, the custodians politely requested that we may wish to vacate the Mamac in a prompt and orderly fashion.  It seems that all 3 floors and the terraces have cctv and our 'interaction' with the exhibits and art pieces were not appreciated by the artists (several of which were long dead and turning in their graves). Leaving her and herself to view further pieces, we left and said that we would meet them at the geletino some time later.

some afternoon jazz after being inspired at the Hotel Negresco

Anything they can do, we can do better.  Despite trying each and every one of brass instruments, not one of them worked.  The brass-neck of it all, did they not appreciate the effort we had put in trying to entertain her and herself....

some more interaction with the art

once again, the tempation to climb the exhibits proved too tempting to resist.  Luckily there were no custodians of the arts hanging around the gallery keeping an eye on the pieces.....

Musee d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain

or to those in the know, the Mamac.  Olaf and I saw this on the roof terrace and decided that the view may be better from the top....
