The Switzerland Report - Day 9


|| Aug 5 ||

Findings: Caffeine-Free Coke Yacht, Jellyfish, Picasso museum, Coastal walk in Cap d'Antibes

Food
: The sandwich again.


We spent the morning at the beach and on this day, we had some visitors in the water. There was a jellyfish invasion. None of us were bit, but they did brush by me and I really didn't like how that felt. We also came across a yacht that we saw everywhere we went, as if it was tracking us. In reality, I don't think it was following us, I think it was more like the sun and you just see it from everywhere because it is so big but unlike the sun, the yacht was awful. It was the gold color of the caffeine-free coke can that some might remember from the 1980s, and had these sinister tinted windows, no flags, and was just all around giant and menacing.




In the late morning, we picked up the new favorite sandwich and headed to Garoupe beach to the trail head for Sentier Littoral, the rugged coastal trail in Cap d'Antibes. It was one of the most gorgeous walks I've ever been on. The trail is windy and craggy which provides amazing scenery and views but also keeps people hidden so you feel as if the coast is your own. There were little coves one could walk down to and settle in for a picnic or swim, as well as tiny little coastal flowers and scary drops.
