A Day in Monaco

Monaco...a stomping ground for the wealthy and a beautiful country.

While we were in Nice we decided to take the 40 minute bus ride to Monaco to explore a new country. The city is small...in fact, it is the second smallest city in the world, but one of the world's most densely populated country with a population of 32,410 (thank you Wikipedia!).

Despite the cold, rainy day, we had a great time exploring Monaco!

The water...
Looking out...
The Disneyworld Park...Robert and I both felt that Monaco was so beautifully maintained, we felt like we were in Disneyworld...where all buildings are fascades and it really is a Small World After All...

Changing of the Guards...
Just another rooftop pool...with it's own little Central Park

Saint Devote - Patron Saint of Monaco

How big is your boat? Notice the door open on the side of the boat to house another boat...
