Princess Grace Avenue runs parallel to the sea along the eastern end of the Principality. Hotel Le Meridien is at the easternmost end and a short 10 to 15 minutes walk takes you to the centre of Monte Carlo. Layers of highrise apartment buildings rise up the hilly terrain from the sea. The beach is fronted by rows and rows of cafes and bars on top of which is the wide walkways/embankment where folks jog and walk from early in the morning.
The weather was a pleasant high teens and it was so nice to walk along the clean and prettily mowed lawn with beds of flowers decorated with sculptures at different spots along the way.

The Principality of Monaco is about the size of the Central Park of New York. Its 40,000 population has the most number of billionaires, millionaires, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Porsches and mega-yachts per square foot area of land in the world. These are facts told to us by our limousine driver in the deadly early hour of the morning from the Nice Airport to our hotel a few hours ago.
