Spent yesterday in Eze Village, a medieval town on the top of a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean before heading out to Monaco for the afternoon. There may only be 2 square km to the city/principality but they manage to fit a lot in by going straight up. There is, of course, Monte Carlo which is magnificent looking although too scary to venture inside of what with all the security guards. Then there is the Grimaldi family palace up on the cliff-top overlooking the town. And there was also a race going on… not the Monaco Grand Prix unfortunately, but a go-cart race going on in the harbour near all the massive Cayman Island yachts.
Today we are just being lazy. We slept in and then wandered down to the fruit and flower market to buy breakfast/lunch before finding a spot on the beach. I went for a nice long swim in the Mediterranean and then dried off in the sun. This afternoon we walked up to the Matisse museum only to find out that they have decided to close it for the winter, which they normally don’t do. And now here I am, sitting in a net bar in Nice…
