Nice and Monte Carlo

Our favorite stop on the European cruise was Nice and Monte Carlo. We spent the morning in Nice where we went to an open air market. There were tons of flowers, fish, fruit, vegetables, pastries, etc. We snacked on some fresh pastries and dried fruit. After that we headed to Monte Carlo. Above is a picture of us in front of the palace where the prince of Monaco lives.

There is a spot in Monte Carlo (just behind us in this photo) where you can see 3 different countries: Monaco, France and Italy. Wow!
With our new friends Ken and Joe in front of the church where Princess Grace is buried. Remember Grace Kelley the famous actress? She married Prince Rainier and became Princess Grace of Monaco.
The Monte Carlo Casino is probably the most famous attraction in Monte Carlo. Here we are in front of the Grand Casino, which was featured in the original Casino Royale James Bond movie.

I was in car heaven. I have never been anywhere where you would see a Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Audi sports car, etc. drive past while you were just trying to cross the street!
