Ritz, Glamour, & Royalty in Monaco

The home of deceased American film star Grace Kelly and Prince Reiner, and their three children, Monaco is also the well known jewel of the rich and famous.  Home to famous race car races, casinos, and five star hotels, the lovely country of Monaco sits high upon a hill with winding one way streets. Ritzy malls with crystal chandeliers, swanky boutiques, and hundreds of glamorous men and women shopping for a new outfit or sparkling adornment.

Restaurants closed for the afternoon and drizzle drove the crowds from the streets into the shops and casinos. The gloomy weather did not diminish the loveliness of multitudes of blooms, vibrant green grasses, and lush trees.  The ornate architecture of marble, carvings, and murals shined though the sun did not.

Narrow one way streets, old rocky tunnels, and oncoming traffic made leaving Monaco a difficult endeavor.  Unfortunately, the exit path we found did not lead to the royal residence.  Although rainy, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the royal nook of Monaco and Monte Carlo.

Did you see James Bond there?

He always likes to hang out in Monaco. And, he did everything you mentioned except the shopping.
