Into the great wide ocean

IT was a Kodak moment.

One of those holiday highlights that you file away in the subconscious, to be dusted off and relived time and time again.

We had just boarded the Independence of the Seas after a day of people-watching on the beach in Nice. A leisurely lunch in the old town later, we made our way back to the ship which was anchored in the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer — a horseshoe shaped slice of heaven nestled neatly between the Cape of Nice and Cap Ferrat.
