Nice, Monte-Carlo & Monaco
Left Cannes for Nice by the 7.10 AM & arrived at Nice about 8.30 AM. I stayed in Nice till about 11 AM & I left by car for Monte-Carlo, it is a lovely ride in the car, the scenery is most beautiful, a good part of the journey the car just seems to overlook the sea running around the side of the cliff. I passed through Monaco & got to Monte-Carlo about 11.30 AM & I just visited the gardens & had dinner. It s really impossible to describe Monte-Carlo it is so beautiful, everything shows signs of great wealth.
It has been a lovely day which seems to make everything look at its best. I went back to Monaco & booked my bed at the hotel. I went up to Monte-Carlo in the evening just to watch the big heads out walking in the evening. I got back to my hotel about 8.30 PM.
