After reluctantly leaving Eze, we drove on down the coast (not very far really) to Monaco and Monte Carlo. Unfortunately, I got very few pictures and then my camera battery ran out of juice. Guess I had drained it at Eze.
My cousin quotes a friend of his who calls Monte Carlo "a sunny place with shady people." So, naturally, I was looking forward to seeing shady people. But there were none to be seen. Of course, it was the middle of the afternoon and the area was mostly tourists.
We did go into the casino main foyer and it was so elegant. Not just anyone can go into the actual casino now. You have to pay and probably give them your credit card, deed to your house and birth certificates of your children. But I was content to just be in the beautiful and glamorous foyer, which is also the foyer to the opera...so you can imagine, it is quite opulent. Sorry I did not get pictures. But I did of the outside.
Famous Hotel and Cafe on the same square as the casino....
The casino...........
We did walk around a bit and saw the harbor with all the fabulous yachts and some beautifully, well-dressed people. I'm so glad I saw it....but I must admit I probably won't go back unless a very large bag of cash falls into my lap....so that I could get on the "inside." And who knows.......that probably wouldn't be as interesting as I found Eze.
