France Wine Tour: Day 11 - 6th June 2008
After the long drive from Bordeaux to Nice, we decided to cancel our rental car and buy a train ticket. We decided to do a day trip, and caught the next train to Monaco. It's a small city, (similar in size to Oriental Bay/Mt Victoria in Wellington), but with a definite air of wealth. The old buildings were beautiful and the streets had character. A huge wharf area in the middle of the harbour filled to the brim with the biggest launches I'd ever seen.

We walked up the hill to the Monte Carlo Casino. What a view back to the city centre. Absolutely stunning.
