San Remo - Italy

 

Europe-Italy-San Remo This pretty town is on the Italian Riviera . Took the train from Nice and had a lovely day. Bonus was visiting a fantastic restaurant with pure Italian food and a decor to match. 

Posted this card on a Sunday and bought the stamp from a tobacco shop. Always a good back up to get a stamp. This card never received a postmark which is getting more and more common in Europe . 

Monte Carlo - Monaco

 Europe-Monaco-Monte Carlo Spend a lovely sunny day in Monaco. A superb lunch and a first visit to the famous Casino. €17 to get in but you get a credit of €10 to gamble. Needless to say that did not last long. The palace was closed to visitors due to covid. 

Monaco is one of those countries that stamps have a high presence if I can say it that way. In the centre of town is a large Philatelic Museum. In fact that is were I visited to buy these stamps. Not only could you buy new stamps but also older stamps like from a stamp shop. Especially love the old style of the formula 1 car stamp. You cant miss the stands and set up when you visit here. 

Nice France

 Europe-France-Nice Spend a pleasant few days here. My second time and seen a lot more this time to see. The old town is very attractive and the prices for eating out are cheaper then Dublin ! 

No selection of stamps at the Post office. But had not realised that the main Post office was beside the train station. Second time recently to have a stamp with a bar code . The first one was Germany on my recent trip.
