Nice (pronounced niece) was an excellent place to stop for a few days. It has an excellent marina with great people working there that are very helpful, an excellent tourist information center, a wonderful public transportation system which includes buses, trams and a train station that you can use to go to other places; a historic part of town to wander through, numerous museums, great promenades...

Nice and Monaco
Hello Mates,....What a great few days you had in Nice and Monaco!!! Who would have thought another boat would have such a close name to the Tsamaya to take your spot. LOL I thought Princess Grace was a wonderful individual and what a storybook ending to marry the Prince of Monaco. As for the super yachts,...kind of ludicrous to use gold, and high end tweaks to fix a luxury yacht. Talk about the haves and have nots...a world I would never want to be part of. Yep, fun to look at, but dreaming about it for myself would never work. Monaco is a beautiful place,...and of course a place for the rich and famous. Nice that they let us commoners view their lives...LOL That monetary differential between the politicians [most of whom are millionaires], and those they govern really shows they don't know how to fix it for the average person. I'm not sure anyone can fix the USA any more...too many people think they have THE answer...a product of overpampering adults who think everyone should get a participation trophy. lol...guessing that might be one cause for the dysfunction here. Monaco looks so perfect, clean, pastels, nice shiny black Ferrari, etc. The view of Monaco from the palace which includes the marina is very impressive. The cathedral has a different look to it from others you have captured...then I realized,..no spires. The inside of the cathedral is amazing!!! The rings with jeweled butterflies would be dangerous on my fingers...looking for an eye to poke or clothing to get stuck on. lol Your comparison of the "old" and "new" Monaco....the old is so charming that it would be hard to love the modern part. You two much be in very, very good shape to climb that hill with all of the switchbacks. Worth it??? I can tell you,...the views you captured are candy for the eyes. And....I particularly liked the "dualees"...very cute couple sharing special place. Well, thank you for the tour through Nice and Monaco,...as of noon today, Sept 19,...you have not moved...keep listening for the ship booming alert, but nothing yet. Take care and stay well...patience with the weather. We are in the middle of a return to summer. A week of sunshine, no rain, and high 70's, low 80's. Motorcycle,..here I come!! precious few days left. love and hugs...xoxoxoxox c & B
