Hello from Nice

Today we took the train to Monaco/Monte Carlo, definitely the richest place in the world we've ever been. The Bentley's and Ferrari's were the norm and were all over the place. They had a lot of fences set up for the Grand Prix so it was cool to see where they'll actually have the race. As we were walking from the train station up to Monte Carlo you could see yachts EVERYWHERE, if only we knew one of the owners...
In the restaurant bathrooms, they had sheets of Kleenex instead of toilet paper!

We came back to Nice in the early afternoon then walked from the train station, through Old Nice and back to our hotel. Tomorrow we're supposed to have heavy rain all day so not sure what we'll do. The hotel said to not even try going to Cannes since the film festival is going on, a bus or taxi would take over 2 hours each way with traffic.
We'll probably go up to Castle Hill (even if that means carrying our umbrellas) because I've heard it's a great view point.
