Wed June 5 Monte Carlo, Monaco

We woke to a beautiful morning in Monaco and what a wonderful view we had from our balcony!

We stopped at the tourist info desk on our way out of the port and found out about a ferry (which was free today) that would take us over to the casino and from there we could get a bus to Eze. 

Eze is a hilltop medieval town in France. It is very charming and the view from the garden at the top is breathtaking!

We spent a while walking around the town and then caught the bus back to Monaco. We got off at the top of the town at a look off with more wonderful views.

We walked around enjoying all the sights and the cars and the yachts and the money. This place oozes money!

We stopped at a place for lunch where we had stopped when we were here in 2008. It is a busy pizza counter outside a grocery store on the main street on the waterfront. But the pizza was not as good as last time. Nothing stays the same... :(

At 3pm we headed back to the ship and had a quick nap. I think all the walking and the sun is catching up with us.

Woke feeling refreshed, at 4:30pm we headed back out and took the ferry back to the casino. What a beautiful building! We went in and I played 10 euros in the slot machines just so I can say I gambled there - just like Bond, James Bond.

Walked around for a while and then it was time to head back to the ship. We were back on by 7pm with all on board at 7:30pm.

Buffet for dinner and then out on deck to watch sail away.

It was great to be docked in Monaco and not Villefranche which is were we were anchored (with tenders) the last 2 times I was here. It makes getting around so much easier.

Marseille, France tomorrow!
