The caves of Balzi Rossi - 7

Our last day - perhaps not a spectacular photograph but I wanted to show you how far we've walked. We started at the museum itself, which is the cream coloured, flat-roofed building you see on the left of the photo, nearest to camera - then we walked up the ramp and crossed the railway lines - and then up steps, up slopes, up more steps and more slopes - the end of which you can see on the right of this photograph. So didn't we do well? You'll see another photo of the first of the two museum buildings below and, of course, you see Menton in the background. Thank you so much to everyone who has taken this little tour with me. Tomorrow we'll cross the border as we make our way back to Menton.

  1. Jilly, many thanks for showing me the caves, I cannot wait to visit them myself, would it be a good idea to take a torch?

  8. Great tour - thanks for taking us on the walk as well as showing the figures and artifacts there. I wonder what happened to the man and two children - their preserved skeletons are amazing.

  9. I really enjoyed the tour. Thank you! :)

    (Re: your question about the photo I took in the restaurant, I just stood next to the entrance and no one seemed to notice. Pure luck, really. :)

  11. I've enjoyed this tour, Jilly. I could have never made it this far, so thanks!

    I'm glad you thought the meatballs looked good, even if you're not a meat-eater.

  12. Looks like it was a long hard walk - that was well worth the effort. A walk to remember for years to come.

  13. Jilly, dahling, it's no wonder I am tired and thirsty! It's been a wonderful tour you've brought us on, but really now, mustn't we be getting back to Menton, and drinks at the club? Seriously, very fun series this has been. Thanks so much Jilly.
