Paris to Nice Cruise October 31, 2009

     Our Halloween evening cruise started with an appropriate dinner of Bat Amuse Bouche(a spoonful of cheese), pumpkin soup, Transylvania salmon and spinach with cream sauce, Dracula pork medallions served on Graveyard zucchini-spinach ratatouille, Bloody Bilberry sauce (sweet fruit) and a dessert of Mummy’s Pyramid warm chocolate cake with Ghostly vanilla mint sauce.
     Nick, our tour leader lured us to the top deck with the promise of cognac, so I bundled up, found a chair and listened to his commentary as we cruised past brightly lit historic buildings. (He was kidding about the cognac).
     When our cruise ship reached the confluence of the two rivers, we left the Saone and headed up the Rhone to dock in Lyon for the next two nights.
     In the meantime, Kathy slipped into her bathing suit for a soak in the hot tub.  Because it was so very cold, she was the only one to partake of the hot water.
