Monaco Isn't Livorno !

We ventured ashore at Monaco and spent several hours wandering the city. We managed to get lost a couple of times but after sorting the internet stuff we were able to walk about where ever we wanted.

We were able to walk sections of the Grand Prix track, through pit lane and the like.

We walked by a new car showroom and saw the latest Rolls Royce models on display but opted not to take a test drive.

From there we climbed the hill to Prince Rainier's Palace and along the top of the road there. That is where the photo below was taken.

You can see the ship and you may also be able to make out the banks of seating for the upcoming car race.

We have discovered that cruising is ideally more for the lifestyle than taking in all the sightseeing. If you want a really good look at the country a bus tour would be a much better way to do it.  Today in Livorno Italy some of the tours are around 10 hours long and cost around $100 each! 

They need to be that long so the bus has time to travel there and back.
 
I will do a second post above on our arrival in Livorno Italy.
