In the morning we visited the "Prince's Palace of Monaco" and the changing of the guard - which takes place at 11:55 every day. We took a taxi over, and then walked around the area after the palace. It was about 85 deg today and very humid. We were both sweating within 10 minutes.

Finding a taxi back was a real hassle. We ended up having to walk all the way down the hill and stop in a hotel to have them call us one. We waited for 35 minutes! We should have just driven ourselves since there was plenty of parking available near the palace. Big waste of time waiting for a ride back to the hotel.
We showered - had lunch at the pool cafe - and then headed off for a drive. This was
our route today. A nice mix of coastal and inland driving.
In the small village of Castillon:

The area around the Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat was very nice - with some expensive properties!
Tomorrow we are off to the Four Seasons Provence. After breakfast we will head to Cannes to spend a few hours, have lunch, then check in there later in the afternoon.
