France - Day 13

We packed up and left the hotel today. We sadly said goodbye to Shirley's walking boots which had reached the end of their life...

We drove down to Monaco on the coast and parked the car in the station car park. We walked down to the port.

From there we walked up to the old town and Prince's Palace.

We sat there for some lunch with a view.

Then we had a wander round Monaco old town, and into the cathedral which has the graves of Prince Ranier III and Princess Grace (Grace Kelly).

We left Monaco and drove along the coast road through Nice towards the airport. At the quieter end of the promenade we parked and sat under a tree near the beach for a while.

We went for dinner at a nearby pizza place, and had an excellent pizza and salad.

We went to the airport, dropped off the car and sat in a cafe/bar until our flight. It wasn't till after 10pm, but all went smoothly and we got a taxi home, arriving at nearly 1am.
