Far right yacht is world's largest private yacht

We arrived in the Principality of Monaco yesterday morning. It was a spectacular day with blue skies and sunshine. It is another city built on the side of mountains with incredible panoramic views. We taxied to our hotel and decided to enjoy the day around the pool and beach. We walked along the shore to the Casino Monte Carlo and the Hotel de Paris. We ate outside at the Paris Cafe and watched all the bling pass us by. Maseratis, Aston Martin, Bentley, Gull-Wing Mercedes are the cars of choice around here... We hopped on an open air bus to see the sights this am. The harbor is filled with huge yachts from everywhere. Prince Albert was at the Place du Palais. We lunched at a cute cafe  and strolled through the garden called Roserale Princesse Grace and watched French children and french dogs play in the park. Back to pack and begin our journey back to the USA and with lots of great memories!  If you like the blog...please send money and we will take another trip....so you can enjoy more....

Our final day of the cruise brought some rain in the morning then some clearing in the afternoon.  Portofino is as great little city on the Italian Riviera, it is definately home of the rich and famous. It is one of the most photographed villages along the Italian coast.  Tomorrow we dock in Monte Carlo, around 6:00 am....and we are going to spend two night their before heading back to the west coast
