This is a day late report for yesterday, September 1. The day started with a trip to the flower market and old town in Nice. The flower market was actually a market for flowers (duh), produce, soap, souvenirs of all sorts, and lots of other things.
That took up most of the morning, followed by lunch at a little outdoor restaurant near our hotel. After lunch, we headed to the bus station for a trip to Monaco. Once in Monaco, we hopped on a local bus to take us to the palace at the top of the hill -- why walk? (The casino was even higher, but we passed on that.) The palace gardens were beautiful, and had great views of the Mediterranean. The palace itself was nothing too spectacular, except for the views of Monaco below. There were a ton of high-rise buildings (not much room to grow out) and marinas with large yachts.
We returned to Nice late in the afternoon, and had a great dinner in old town, in the same area that was filled with vendors for the flower market, now filled with people eating and drinking.
