Day 16 - The Monte Carlo
This mornings mission is to find an atm to get some money out as I'm running low from my last withdrawal in Venice. After succeeding to get out money we bought croissants from a very fancy bakery.

Living the High Life for a Couple of Days
... is buried. Really nice gothic style cathedral and in very good condition. Then we toured the State Rooms of the Palace for 8 euro. Again, much smaller compared to other European Palaces, but still decorated with gold trimming and amazing ceiling paintings.
