Up at the main road there were two bus stops : one for the bus west to Nice, one for the bus east to Monte Carlo. We decided to catch the first bus which came and finished up in Nice. I intend to go back one day and this time head east. Thanks so much for all your delightful contributions to Sepia Saturday.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-19315919661904098812011-11-13T18:01:25.912+00:002011-11-13T18:01:25.912+00:00I love learning about places I have never been.I love learning about places I have never been.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920831144240024660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-6319636032266812172011-11-13T16:53:40.146+00:002011-11-13T16:53:40.146+00:00Great post - Monaco seems very grand and romantic ...Great post - Monaco seems very grand and romantic so we made plans to drive my British sports car from Scotland.
