Eze - 3rd March

The following day after St Paul de Vence, we went to another medival town known as Eze (pronounced as "Ass" :p ). Eze has a wonderful view of the sea, but I do feel that St Paul is more exquisite. Anyway, here're some pictures of Eze.








Lost and found!!! Presenting... My new Lamborghini!!!

France is the capital of perfume! In Cote D'Azur, Grasse is the place to go if you want to visit the perfume factories. Luckily for time-restricted travellers like us, there's also one such factory in Eze, saving us from making a trip to Grasse...

Loads of tourists, loads of perfume products.
The best quality perfume are stored in Aluminium containers, protected from sunlight. The company claims that the perfumes can last 6 years in such containers.
Apparently, high fashion companies like Gucci, Chanel etc purchase these best quality perfumes from them, dilute them, and then sell to us! So... if you want value for money, this place is probably a good venue to buy perfumes. But mind you, it's still not cheap cheap. 120ml perfume can easily cost 75 Euros... Well... at least it's still expensive for lowly paid me... :(

Bizzare english weather

One can never understand how the english weather works... We're already officially in the British Summer Time, with flowers blooming, and the temperature reaching a comfortable 15 deg Celsius just 2 days ago.

But... it snowed today! Amazingly, the snow was inch thick!!! That hadn't happened at all during the winter months. In fact, it hardly snowed at all during winter. I can only remember seeing some snow-like resemblance twice.

Anyway, the weather prediction for the next 3 days are as follows:
Sunday's predominant weather is forecast to be light snow showers. Monday's predominant weather is forecast to be sleet showers. Tuesday's predominant weather is forecast to be light snow showers.
Merry belated Christmas ppl!
