Outside Nice station in the morning.10:46:21
We went for a quick look at the sea before having a late breakfast.10:47:51
11:02:46
Nice market, all very tempting as we were quite hungry by this point.
11:07:24
We ended up eating breakfast in this little alleway, as it was shady. The croissants we bought from the market were actually very good.11:20:52
Some thyme (I think) growing out of a wall.11:20:55
11:36:34
Balloons outside a church. Erika really liked this.
11:40:38
Erika on my shoulders.11:40:43
11:42:27
11:48:42
We stopped off for some pre-lunch gelato at the famous Fenocchio.
11:49:10
This was supposed to be Erika's ice cream (fior di latte), but she decided she preferred ours instead.13:23:00
Lunch at Rene Socca - beignets de fleurs de courgettes and socca - two specialities of Nice.13:35:39
Erika with a greasy chin after eating one of the various kinds of fried things we ordered.13:35:42
Chie and Erika at Rene Socca.
13:36:50
Love this picture of me and Erika.13:37:00
15:22:04
On the train to Monaco now.15:44:08
15:44:54
...I think this is around Villefrance sur Mer - lovely view of the sea through the train window.16:02:24
There's apparently a sleeper train from Monaco to Moscow.16:15:39
On arrival in Monaco, we stood for a while waiting for a taxi, and eventually gave up and got the bus.17:26:15
When we finally made it to our hotel, here's the view from our room.

Chie and Erika having an early evening swim in the hotel pool.18:34:52
19:46:08
Out for dinner in the evening.19:48:26
Larvotto beach - and the moon was already visible, even though it wasn't dark yet.
19:48:36
20:03:16
As we were in Monaco it seemed obligatory to order Champagne.20:08:32
My pizza - they have a wood fired oven.20:10:13
Me and Erika, who looks a bit gruesome here!
20:10:41
The three of us at dinner. We weren't quite sitting on the beach proper, but close enough.20:56:51
We finished off our Champagne on the beach afterwards. A bit hard to capture that in a photo as it was quite dark by this point!20:59:46
21:01:34
21:05:18
Tried one with the flash on. Never really like pictures taken with flash.21:05:34
Our hotel glowing in the distance there.21:11:11
Heading back to the hotel, walking along by a moonlit sea.21:23:49
The sign for our hotel.
21:37:41
Erika having a pre-bedtime pouch, as we didn't have easy access to any milk.21:39:20
Night night!
