Posh luxurious and wealthy!

Monaco, Monaco


Two facts we were impressed by: 1) Local people (in museums and in cafes) knew some basic Greek!!!! 2) We had a nearly proper frappe there!!

Principaute de Monaco... What can one say... FERRARIS. POSH. RICH. PORSCHES. FORMULA 1. POSH. FERRARIS. LUXURIUS. FERRARIS. PORSCHES. POSH. FERRARIS... AROMA OF PRINCIPALITY LIKE NOWHERE! And in case we forgot to mention, full of Ferraris, Porsches and other similar super-cars!

We OF COURSE drove the world famous Grand Hotel hairpin on our little Peugeot 206! We drove through the tunnel (yet the other way round), we walked almost every corner of the Monaco Grand Prix (many parts of the Grand Prix are only used during the Formula 1 weekend and access was not allowed to make a complete lap!)...

We spent some time outside the Monte Carlo Casino and the Grand Hotel... So many Ferraris... You could hear an approaching Ferrari engine every 2 minutes! It was weekend and the weather marvellous for them to show off!

(Ferrari Enzo!!!)

Oh our visit was not only to check Felippe Massa's tyre tracks on the kerbs... We visited the palace located on a hill, from where we stared at the centre of the city (unfortunately, photos were not allowed). We saw the guards change, we walked through the adjacent public park with impressive trees and cactus.

We had a frappe next door to the palace...

Monaco is a different place in this planet...
