Another beautiful sunny morning on the Riviera and a great day to explore neighbouring Antibes. From Juan-les- pins to Antibes it was an easy 30 minute walk but we stopped at the local Antibes Markets on the way. More than just food, there was clothes, accessories, shoes, quilts and all sorts of different knick knacks.
We walked to Port Vauban, filled with expensive yachts and surrounded by Ramparts. Walking on the old wall allowed us to see not only the beach and the ocean but gave a better view of the massive boats. We continued our wander through the streets of the old town and around the coastal Road to the Picasso museum.
The Picasso museum, well, what can I say? I am not an art expert so am not even close to being qualified to be an art critic, but Oh my. My kids painted more realistic pictures in third grade. What Ian found hilarious, was the descriptions of his artwork. What I found interesting was his line drawing phase, which, not only lasted a week, but has eraser marks on them. It was like someone fetched all his unfinished stuff from the bin. Needless to say that I left the museum very pleased with my doodling abilities. Haha.
