Col ee Turini


What another great montain pass! Not the most challenging of passes (although the leaves and rocks on the road, brought down by the rain did make it intesting to say the least!) But certainly a very pretty one.

We arrived at our hotel, the Novotel, jvst arond the corner from the casino, and made our way straight to the bar, for Vodka Martinis (shaken, not stirred of course!) This is a fantastic modern hotel, with plasma TVs in your room, but normally you would pay over €300 a night to stay here!

After quite a few cocktails we took a stroll down to the harbour and the Stars and Bars restaurant for a burger. This is a lively bar and you can wait quite a while for a table, but it's worth the wait and not too (for Monte Carlo) at €14 for our burgers.

Nice pass is that. When you get back you will have to get remapped and lowered then go back and see if it is any different.

Nice to drive a leg of the monte Carlo rally while you are there!
