95 - A matter of principal(ity) - Monaco
Sunday, June 30 Today the plan is to visit Monaco. A bit of research beforehand revealed I should arrive in the morning if I want to be able to tour the casino, so that's how I ended up taking the 600 bus from Nice which dropped me off right in front of the Monaco office of tourism. A different angle on Nice as I exit east and the bus begins climbing the hill. There were plenty of cyclists out on the road this morning and I don't know how they do it, I was glad for the bus' air conditioning. Plenty of large boats anchored along the côte between Nice and Monaco and certainly no shortage of sunshiney villas along the waterfront. There was the occasional bus stop along the road, not too many people hopped on but I was surprised to see a few people get off along the way, I guess they were aiming for a specific beach or had a house to visit. After a brief talk inside the office, I made my way to the casino. Pictures are only allowed inside the casino before 2pm
