Day 21: Monaco - Monte Carlo
16th. July
The Princess Grace Gardens Day 19: Wednesday 15th. July: Temp 27C: We met up with Vera's sister and husband and friends at the hotel before going to the Ship, the Ruby Princess to start our cruise around the Mediterranean. On Board: - we had a twin cabin with en suite (small but adequate), could hang our clothes up on hangers and close our suitcases for 12 days, the food was good and plentiful and we dined together as the ship sailed out of Barcelona in the evening.
Day 20: 16th. July: Ruby Princess - Monaco and Monte Carlo: Temp 27C: We were alongside the coast of France and berthed at the Port of Monte Carlo where we disembarked to join our escorted tour in Monaco walking through the Princess Grace Gardens, St. Nicholas Cathedral where the Prince and Princess are entombed, to the Palace and through the streets of the "old town". We went into the Opera House and Place de Casino - tried my luck, but lost my money. After a delightful buffet dinner, Vera and I went up on deck, lay back in deck chairs (blanket provided) and watched "Movies Under the Stars" which was screening the movie "Australia". We
were served fresh popcorn, hot choc chip cookies and milk. How fabulous was that.
