Today I bring you an update from Monaco and the Cote d’Azure.  We have spent the past to days at a pier in the harbor of Monte Carlo in Monaco.  I woke up this morning and looked out and wondered if this is where you live would you get tired of the wonderful sight that greets you every morning.  This is truly a jewel nestled in the Mediterranean Sea.  

Yesterday we spent the day on our own and strolled around Monte Carlo.  We saw the Prince’s palace, changing of the palace guard, the course for the Formula 1 race and generally rode around and viewed the sights. 

Today we had a day on the Cote d’Azure our guide Tony and drivers Patrick and John Jacques gave us a wonderful tour around the country.  We drove up saw lovely views overlooking Monaco and then on to Nice and again overlooking it nestled by the sea.  We were able to have lunch in a sidewalk café outside our weather has been truly fantastic.  We drove on to Eze a medieval village up in the mountains where we did some shopping for things of Provance – lavender.  We saw several other villages and sights along the way before returning to the ship.
