6:10 Extra top tip from personal experience: For about €100,- you can get a helicopterride from Nice airport to the centre of Monaco. Absolutely awesome ride and it only takes about 5-10 minutes instead of ca. 50 minutes with the cab.

( Back story. He was a very good neurosurgeon but not so much a money manager. He ended up in his retirement having to work riding in a mobile x-ray van to administer Barium swallows to nursing home patients to document aspiration for Medicare to pay for dietary modifications. He had to do this because his financial manager absconded with three million dollars of his investment money. Saxton had it all, did it all, and lost it all through his life. A Wild Animal Farm, an Italian Restaurant in Dallas, Gliders and planes, a big sailboat in the Pacific Northwest, etc. He sold the Rolex cause he needed the money.

[@velvetjones1856]

Was hoping you'd get a Ferrari 812 Superfast for the drive to Monaco, but apparently not. You've been traveling for so many years, you probably can adjust to driving on the different sides of the road. I tried once in the UK, at night and in the rain. I gave up at the first traffic circle.

[@KymIllman]

I have no trouble driving on either side of the road. Although occasionally if there’s no traffic coming the other way I turn into the wrong side of the road.
