Aix-en-Provence

From Eze I drove to Aix-en-Provence through Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume. Highway A8 felt almost like an interstate, unfortunately my car was underpowered.

Eze

I picked up the rental car in the morning and drove to Eze, small medieval village perched over Mediterranean. It was my first time driving on the Moyenne Corniche, "the most photogenic, a real cliff-hanging, car-chase highway". I think "To catch the thief" was filmed there. I got more confidence once I drove there for 10-15 minutes, but the whole drive is only 19 minutes according to Google.
Eze was filled with tourists (as expected), less expected was completely full parking and no signs about alternatives. As usually, I got lucky - there was another parking 5 km from the main one with shuttle and a ticket to Gardin Exotique (Tropical garden).

China - final thoughts

After almost a year after my trip I realized that I  have a writer's block - I still haven't finished my blog! I am afraid it is time to move on.
Two years after the trip I must say the trip was amazing. I was able to see many places in China and learned a little bit about Chinese culture. It was nice to see Dan and Len in Beijing!
