Nice

Well here we are in Nice, having passed through Lyon, Avignon and Provence.  That was a whirlwind.  The country around Avignon and Provence is beautiful with crops and vineyards.  They didn't give us much wine at the wine tasting but we made up for it at the free dinner.

Yesterday as we came in we went to Monaco where you have to pay before you are allowed to enter.  You can become a citizen if you are a billionaire.  Guess that counts most of us out.

The pictures on the end of this building were done by that famous street painter artist - Kubler or something like that.  This is in Lyon

This is the harbour of Monaco.  It is only a small part of it.  I couldn't fit the rest of it in.  They are having a yacht show hence lots of expensive boats and classy people.

This is the church in Monaco where the Grimaldis get married and buried.  We saw Grace's and Ranier's graves which are in the church with all the rest of their dead relatives.

 

Today has been a 'rest' day in Nice.  This morning we went and found a laundromat - no small feat.  This afternooon Pam is doing some high roads and a perfumery but that high stuff isn't for me!

Tomorrow we head south even further - almost to the Spanish border and then continue on to the west coast of France.
Now I am off to the beach to sit and walk and relax.  It feels strange to do nothing.  Even better than work!
