A few days ago i made a Trip over the Weekend to Nice and Monaco. Due to much traffic we arrvied later then planned only on Saturday around noon in setead of the morning so the Trip to Monaco was postponed from Saturday afternoon to Sunday mornining. This meant that i could not go into the Kathedral because there was Mess. I then visited the Grande Appartements at the Palace and walked through the beautiful Town and the Jardins St. Martin.
