France-Monaco-Italy – All in a day

Took a drive along the coast to Nice towards Ventimiglia. Stopped in Nice, drove thru Eze (nice and easy :) ), Monaco – Monte Carlo, Menton, to Ventimiglia in Italy, town closest to Nice – hey first visit to Italy and driving thru three countries in a day!!

Had lunch in park by the Casino in Monte Carlo – Walked around – in Monte Carlo – in front of the Casino was a really cool fountain – called the Sky View – there were so many posh cars – Bentleys, Ferraris, sports cars – all parked in front of the casino.
