Day 16 - The Monte Carlo
This mornings mission is to find an atm to get some money out as I'm running low from my last withdrawal in Venice. After succeeding to get out money we bought croissants from a very fancy bakery. Simple things like buying a croissant can be so hard. For instance in Australia in a bakery you would ask and pay the same person but here they get you to pay the person at the cash register or you can be asked to pay first and then you are given a docket to ...

In the meantime, Courtney had spoken to the next door neighbour who had also rung the owners.
10 minutes later they arrived. We were so relieved that the ordeal was over. We apologised for being late ...
The man in the Iron Mask........Ouch
... or possibly Azerbaijan. Possibly need to figure that one out before Sasha Baron Cohen shows up with the heavies and a mankini.
Breakfast consumed, we caught the bus to Cannes for the trip to the Iles St Marguerite, home to the man in the iron mask, made famous initially by Voltaire and Alexandre Dumas and latterly by Leonardo di Caprio in a recent movie adaptation.
