The All Day Adventure - Return To Monte Carlo
We set out early this morning on the bus, leaving Nice behind. Our first stop was a beautiful bay, the Ville Franche for a photo stop...and of course had our picture taken. We continued on to the medieval town of Eze which is perched atop a rock/mountain. We climbed, yes on foot, from the bottom all the way to the top and walked back down. The ascending "streets" with many steps and all the arches made for a challenging but fun adventure. Back on the bus and on to Monaco. Here we drove from the starting line of the Grand Prix of Monte Carlo, then climbed up to the old city. The panoramic views of both "new" Monte Carlo and "old" Monte Carlo harbors were stunning - and I'd be happy to take over ANY of those yachts! We had free time for lunch then finished the day at the Monte Carlo Casino, the center attraction of Roger Craig's 007 movie, "Casino Royale." It was a long 8-hour day but well worth it.
Tomorrow our car picks us up at 4:15 for the half hour drive to Nice International where we fly to Frankfurt - about an hour. Then we board our international flight to Miami International where we are scheduled to land about 2:30pm on Sunday.....should be home around 4pm. Been a great trip.
THANK YOU to everyone who's followed along - it makes putting in the work to post the pictures all worth while. See you on the next adventure in mid-December!
