MONTE CARLO

---

Our second port where we have to use tenders to shore, as they only have one huge wharf and there was a Carnival ship in town. Monte Carlo, Monaco is such a picturesque place - dripping with money - expensive boats and yachts everywhere and loads of expensive flashy cars. Monaco is a very small municipality - 3/4 mile - but built up the very steep mountains surrounding it. We walked over to the casino and then back around the bay and up the hills to Old Monaco to the changing of the guards at the palace - saw the cathedral where Grace Kelly was married, maze of little narrow streets around here being Sunday there was a little market on and lots of lovely restaurants. Short visit here as we sailed at 3.30p.m. but did have enough time to explore Monte Carlo - some took the train down to Cannes and Nice.
