Monarco
Spent the evening in Monte Carlo, the captial of Monarco. Why a country 3km long needs a capital is beyond me but it was a really nice night out. Went out and had the best pizza ever. The guide told us there is a 0 crime rate there, but while we were ...

Tax-haven on the sea
... no matter how many Gibraltar-registered yachts were clogging up the seafront. I can't really see the point of coming back to Monaco though - I guess pseudo-nations like this are mostly there for novelty value on the tourism front. That, and for those who ...
Moneybags Monte Carlo

Monaco - go gambling and F1!!!
... a bit of a shock. (Unless you're James Bond of course - any losses are covered by Her Majesty.) I'll say this for Monaco: Absolutely worth visiting. Bring a lot of money. Oh, and check out this photo from Monaco. (Below.) It's clear - in anyone's ...

Monte Carlo and the Village of Eze
Monte Carlo, Monaco We had a tough decision to make. Do we stay in Monte Carlo and tour the city or follow our hearts (and appetites) and take the 5-mile taxi ride to the beautifully restored French medieval village of Eze? For those who know us ...
