1AM Geneva apparently has my bag.
650AM We left Piero's home around 650 and reached the station 5 minutes before departure at 7:38.
11AM The train did not get to Ventimiglia until 11ish. I got a 1 EUR and left the town. It did not seem like there was much going on there.
Monte Carlo
12PM The train finally got to Monaco at 12ish. I eavesdropped on a question and Jardin Exotique seemed to be the highest point here. The ticket was 3.5 EURs students and it overlooks Monaco. Monaco Ville, the old town, was a bus away. It is peninsula for the royals of Monaco. There was the cathedral, museums and palace. Incidentally, the prince is marrying this weekend. As a result, this city is even more decorated. Flags were out.
2PM I left the casino, having been caught to pay the final fare as my contribution to Monaco tourism. I waited from 2:25 to 3:13 for the train to Cannes.
3PM I got to Cannes. it was somewhat of a bore except the arena for the film festival. Incidentally there was a gaming developer conference there. Cannes is a nude beach.
7PM I got to Nice. Loic was there to take me around. The walk uphill exhausted me. It was my third city of the day. He bought me some socco, which is just flour I think. I then asked to go to a seafood restaurant. His Indian friend Mini came, followed by her friends. Dinner was pretty expensive at 30 eurs. But hey, I was in nice. I gave 100 dollars to Loic to get all the euros on the table. I then treated everyone to gelato 3.5 EURs x 5= 17.5 EURs.
Socco in Nice
They were very nice. After we left, Loic and I took the tram to out to his truck. We then went to his home at La Colle. He offered his bed but I insisted the couch.
