After Nice the lower coastal route to Monaco got much hillier as it wound up and down throughout the various resorts along the way. All the way along there were villas clinging to the steep rock faces that seem to come straight up from the sea, and super yachts dotted all along the coastline.
Monaco itself was interesting to see but but definitely not worth spending much time in (unless your accountant recommends it!). As you'd expect there were Ferraris and Aston Martons Lined up one after the other but we would far rather have been having a quiet lunch in the shade in one of the many wee villages we passed through in the hills. Those places seemed far more real and friendly.
We decided to cheat a bit and take the train back as far as Nice, it is certainly a hell of a lot easier to take bikes on trains in France than it is in Britain,then checked out the Airport and printed our boarding passes on our way back to the campsite ready for the off tomorrow.
