Monaco

Not only we'd visited the smallest country in the world, we were at the second smallest country in the world, Monaco, too. Monaco has only 1.95 sq km of land, but is best known for its casino, F1 Grand Prix and high-rolling lifestyle. We took a train from Florence to Nice in France and checked into our hotel there before hopping into a bus to Monaco.


Monaco road signs.


Defibrillator by the roadside! Impressive. Never seen this in Malaysia. Even ambulances are not all equipped with these!


On our way up to the palace.


Sah with girl.


Majestic view of the port.


Beautiful abode.


Policeman.






The view was even more magnificient when darkness fell and the lights were on.


Portrait...


Streets.


Cafe by the port.


Full moon.

Wondering why there was no photo of Monte Carlo?? Yeah it was late in the night already and we feared we would miss the last train back to Nice so had to give up visiting the casino! :(
