Josh speaking again. Day 2 of our Disney Cruise. We started the day off with a buffet breakfast at Topsiders (at the top, right side of the boat). After breakfast we went to the Buena Vista Theatre to wait for a tender boat that was going to bring us to Villafranche. We had already organized a car to pick us up and drive us around to where we wanted to go at 8:30. Unfortunately, the tender boat was late and we ended up getting there at 9:15 and when we arrived our driver wasn't there. We waited around for 15 minutes and decided to call him. It turned out that he hadn't even written down that we had booked him. He called the other drivers he knew and got one of them (Antonio) to drive us instead.
Antonio was the craziest driver we had ever seen. He speeded down narrow twisty-turvy bumpy-jumpy roads to get us everywhere we needed to be. Our first stop was Eze (pronounced Ez). We climbed through the village and explored the shops which were in caves dug out of rock. We then went to Fragonard, the home of crazy perfume lady. Fragonard is a famous perfume factory by the way. Crazy perfume lady talked so fast you couldn't understand what she was saying (not because of the accent) and sprayed all kinds of perfume over everyone. She walked fast too so we went through the whole 2-story building in under 5 minutes.
Next stop on the adventure was the medievil village of Saint Paul. As we wandered through this mysterious village, we were surprised to see that it was a place for artists. They were everywhere! Artists to your left, artists to your right, artists that are creating artworks and even artists that shove their artwork in your face! After the art fananza, we went to a dodgy little restaurant for lunch.
Flynn is going to continue “Frantic In France" with Part 2. See you next time!
