After our visit up to the chateau at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin we continued our trek towards Monte-Carlo. We headed down some steep steps to take us off the hillside of the village to try and access the low road to take us there.
This proved a lot more difficult than we thought as the steps lead us onto a road with no pavement. We spent a fair bit of time avoiding the traffic as we wound around bend after bend.
The only escape was to climb the few narrow 'chemins' (lanes) that presented themselves but these inevitably took us uphill rather than down!
This was the last of them appropriately enough named for us...
We had now been on our feet for 4 hours and decided that enough was enough as walking along the roads was getting more and more treacherous! It seems no one walks around here, mainly drive expensive cars!
A bit bizarrely we had noticed a bus stop earlier in a cut by the side of one of the roads we had been on at a spot where you would have thought it impossible to stop without causing an accident.
We were pleased to see our little bus stop...this is the view from the bus stop and as near as we got to our destination.
