Monte Carolo - Monaco


Thursday 2nd June
From Pisa we travelled along the Italian and French Riveria. Views of the sea and boats in harbours along the way.  Tour Director had a competition count the tunnels from Italy until we reach France. Would you believe 167 1/2. Deb’s count was 172 and Peter’s 170 almost got it right. A lot of fun Michael and Alison wrote down all the Tunnel names. We were sitting in the back row of the bus today. Public holiday in Italy and France today so lots and lots of traffic on the road. So some detays with slow moving traffic. Hotel in Nice and then out for a night in Monte Carlo. The GP had been held just a few days before we arrived and all the stands and lines still around. A Visit to the Royal Palace and Church of St Nicholas and then dinner as we watched the lights switch on over Monte Carlo. A drink in Cafe De Paris time for a look around at the Casino Entrance and Hotel across from the Casino. Time to observe the posh cars parked in front of the casino, Ferrari, Black, Red and Silver, White Lambergini, Roylesl Royce x 3 and Bentleys, Jag. Some people have way too much money! Back to hotel after yet another great night about midnight!
