It's just over a two hour drive from here to Monaco, so why not. We figured if Monaco wasn't too interesting we could drive into neighbouring Nice or nearby Cannes. Didn't have to. Monaco was worth the drive. The old part of town around the palace is very beautiful and well maintained. We made it in time to watch the changing of the guards at the palace then went to the harbour to see how the 1% live, and it looks pretty good. I have never seen so much wealth, Rolls Royces, Ferraris, the biggest yachts I have ever seen, Cartier, and a lot of people who thought they were somebody, and probably were; we just didn't recognize them. We also popped over to have a look at the famous Monte Carlo casino, and of course the road where the famous Formula 1 race is held each year.
