On Monday, June 13, 2005 (Day 3), we arrived in Villefranche, France, a little port village overlooking the capital Cap Ferrat peninsula. It is known as one of the pretiest settings on the Mediterranean coast and we definetly agree. The yelow, red and pink pastel stucco houses that crawl up and down the hillside was an amazing site to see! The ship was not actually allowed to dock in Villefranche so we had to be tendered in which was a nice little relaxing ride.

The excursion we chose was Nice and Monaco On Your Own. We spent the morning in Nice, the capital of the French Riviera, where we got to walk the Promenade des Anglais, the beach and Le Vieux Nice (The Old Town). In the afternoon, we traveled to the principality of Monaco, most famous for the Grand Casino of Monte Carlo. We walked through the Jardin Exotique (Exotic Garden), took a Monaco-Tour via a little train and overall really enjoyed the sites!
