Aix to Monaco

Thinking myself very smart, we drove to train station, dropped off car, then collected new one immediately. I must say Europcar a really good to deal with, absolutely no dramas and web site is really quick and intuitive. This car is a Citroen C3, a step up from the Fiat Panda. It is a diesel and feels much more powerful and stable.

Easy drive (though very fast, always 130 to 150) to turnoff to Cannes where we wanted to have a look see. This seemed a small beach town 30 years ago, though I came by train. This time the town seemed massive and with massive traffic snarls. Got to beach, worth the trip but can't say I'd be rushing back - it is incredibly crowded.
