The anchorage in Nice was in a quiet residential area with cliffs on one side and beautiful homes on the other. We decided to test our dinghy skills and head to the supermarket. There was a supermarket along with a very ritzy enclave of cafe’s, boutiques and the obligatory "Beautiful People" There was view over a marina and bay with "lifestyles of the rich and famous" written all over it and it was just divine.
After leaving Nice it wasn’t long before we got to Monaco where the wealth is crammed in tighter than a can of sardines. We had visited Monaco in 2006 for the day and experienced all it has to offer for anyone who has six figures at their disposal…….so as we didn't have six figures we mainly just walked around! We had no desire to try the logistics of leaving the boat and going ashore.
Menton was around the next headland, we had also spent an hour or two here on the way out of Monaco and onto Italy in 2006. This was one place we did want to visit again. The weather was magical and the bay calm and looking up at the town on one side and the hills that climb up from the bay into the clouds on the other, it’s like being in a movie. I will let the pictures do the talking.
