Day 3440 (Monday) 9th November 2026. This is Eze Village and this is Menton. It was quite cold and very grey again today - I really want to go somewhere. Please let the sun come back out tomorrow.

A man called all the kids to follow him to the restaurant Loco Loco where he went upstairs to encourage them look for sweets and there was quite a crowd. We walked home along some of Rue Obscure but a lot of it was shut ready for the parades - we got some great photos of it.
