Urban Exploration - Villefranche sur Mer
One of the pleasures of being in a foreign place is getting lost on purpose.
And while I usually get lost alone (see entries on Hong Kong, Shanghai and Jerusalem), for this trip, I was very lucky to be in the company of my two cousins and partners-in-crime, Clark and Argee. For once, there could actually be a picture of me (hell-yeah!), instead of just the scenery.
After the day-trip to Monaco, we had about four hours to kill before the cruise ship was to depart. And while everyone else was already on board the ship (sleeping/eating/gambling/enjoying the theatrical production of Grease), Argee and I decided to explore Villefranche a bit longer.
* My partner in crime, Argee, trying his best to look like one of the locals.. with his huge camera bag, US marine hat and Back to the Future sneakers.
* Climbing up the steep, slippery and wet steps to the town church….
* … to get a breathtaking view… of the blonde at the back.
* Totally awesome shirts and pairs of pants.. if only we could reach them.
* Me trying to be all “Ghost Protocol"-ish in the back-alleys of Villefranche.
* The sewers; because no Urban Exploration gig would be complete without a trip… to the sewers.
* Our awesome waiter/bartender/wifi password giver at L’X Cafe. Also known as the French Rastafarian Jason Segel.
* Enjoying the “not-too-shabby" cup of coffee and free wifi at L’X Cafe and Lounge Bar; although in truth, Argee was aiming for the chick at the back.
* As**ns in Paris (well, way way south of Paris..)
* "Because you haven’t gallivanted, until you have gallivanted in sur Mer……" (said with snooty English voice)
* The absolutely beautiful and serene view of Villefranche. Will definitely be back someday!
