. But to give you an idea about how beautiful it was I found a couple pictures on the internet. We spent the morning in Nice, this a really cool city. We parked by the port and there was a huge cruise ship there and another one on its way in. Max was pretty amazed and the enormous size of the boats. We climbed up on top of the hill that you see on the right of this pictures. From there we had a beautiful view of the water, the city and the mountains. The Mediterranean Sea is so, so blue, it was that way in Spain too. Nice has pebble beaches. Instead of soft sand there are little rocks about the size of flat golf balls, not the greatest to walk on but they make a really cool sound as the waves come in to shore.
Later that afternoon we drove down the coast to Monaco. This is a small country a little over a mile squared. It has more millionaires per capita then any other country. We went to the port and saw some huge yachts.
Then we went to a town called Eze, It is called a perched Village, because it sits on the top of a really tall hill. The mid evil part of the village on the very top is for pedestrians only. The streets are all too narrow for cars, and they wind up in a spiral to the top of the hill. On the top there is a botanical garden with plants and sculptures. From the gardens you get an awesome view of the mountains and the ocean. It was a really cool place and we wish we had the pictures we took of it to share. But like I said earlier, these pictures will give you an idea.
