Monaco: The best of it all in one little country
Monaco was exciting! The landscape was unlike anything I've ever seen. The roads were narrow and winding and fun to drive, the food was simple and complex, the city was quaint and extravagant, full of nature and technology... Monaco is a contradiction.
The harbor is equally beautiful in the evening and during the day... the small sailboats line up along side luxury yachts and ...
Day 16 - The Monte Carlo
