Monaco for a day.

Today we took the bus to Monaco. It left from right outside our villa, cost only 1 euro each and was a lovely scenic route. When we arrived we were disappointed because it was raining and horrible. 


This is the famous Monte Carlo Casino.



I got to go where James Bond was!


Anish Kapoor is following me around...


Rainy...



After we had some lunch (average) and wandered around a snobby shopping center, the rain finally stopped and we got to walk around a bit, and it was a lot nicer.



That Grand Prix thing had just been on, so lots of grand stands were being pulled down.



We took the bus up to the top of a big hill (still recovering from our mountain walk yesterday).


I love the mountains.


This is where we saw the palais where Grace Kelly lived. It was very pretty inside. And her son is finally getting married this year.


Just a few cannon balls around.


The whole area is filled with little coves, and biiiig boats.


We liked Monaco. Not bad for a euro bus trip really. If we had time, we definitely would have gone to villefranche and a few other coastal towns. 
Tomorrow we have the morning, and then we head to Berlin!
