Nice/Monaco/San Remo

Nice, a sea side town, was strewn with restaurants. It seemed busy when we were there, possibly a favourite spot for tourists to hang out? Perhaps people seeking warmer climate flock to the south of france for the sunshine.... We parked in a multi storey car park for a couple of hours, walked around a bit, caught a glimpse of the beach and then picked up some pizza and had it on a shady patch of grass (the chairs facing the sea were all taken up by people).







Moved onto Monaco, the much hyped up town where apparently it is one of the world's most costly neighbourhood? It felt like HK esp at the mid levels where the town was built up on a hill. There were stairs (no elevators) taking you up and up from the harbour front. It was a really nice walk from the top where we parked the car on the street, all the way to the harbour where the yachts were anchored and then we made our way up the other end. To our surprise, we managed to locate our car!













To prevent burning a hols in the pocket, we drove an hour more, leaving France and landed ourselves in San Remo (Italy) for the night. The border check point was empty, so we just drove into Italy like that! Cool. It didn't take long to get the feel of Italian driving culture.....
