For just €1 you can take the bus for up to an hour and a half (as long as you are going in one direction). So, with this in mind we had a day out to Monaco, which happens to be the smallest country in the world, with an area of less than 2 sq kilometres and sits nestled between France and Italy. It is famous for the world renouned Monte Carlo Casino (which we decided to skip), the Grand Prix, yachts and a modest castle which was home to Grace Kelly and Prince Ranier while I was growing up.
The daily tradition of the changing of the guard, continues to takes place at 11:55 am precisely, and is a great attraction for the hoards of tourists who now arrive via cruise ships!
We enjoyed our picnic lunch in a nice garden overlooking the exquisite panorama of hills and Mediterranean coast. I found it hard to believe that 47 years had passed since I was last here with my parents. .... time truly marches on, so I say, "go and do what you want to do, while you can."
