The day at Monte Carlo and Eze

On Tuesday Sue and I hopped the train to Monte Carlo.  The Rolex Tennis Championship was taking place but since the Country Club where it was taking place is on the outskirts of town we weren't affected by the crowds.   Beautiful day.  We walked along the sea front to the Hotel Paris, Opera House and Casino.  Stopped for a drink at the Cafe de Paris.  Great place to people watch.

Lovely harbor.










And then we strolled around the harbor stopping for a cold beer and a quick lunch.

And then it was off to the palace and also to see the place where Princess Grace was laid to rest.  The palace was amazing.  In wonderful condition.

Then we caught the bus to Eze Beach where we caught another bus to the top of the mountain to Eze Village one of the most picturesque hilltop villages.

Seeing how it was getting late in the day we caught the bus back to Nice and from Nice to Vence.  Didn't get back home until 9 p.m. and we were pooped!  What a day!
