Through Northern Italy to Monaco

We are in Sounthern France, but our most exciting part of the day was touring Monaco- just a few minutes away! Monaco is the second smallest country in the world- only the Vatican is smaller.

We drove around a block (part of the Grand Prix loop in Monaco) about four times before figuring out it would be better to park and walk to our destination in this country that is less then 2km square! Our destination was a tour that lead us past the Casino and the Prince's Palace, as well as other landmarks in the country.

I should mention something about our trip to Monaco this morning! We drove through Northern Italy, and found numerous picture perfect towns nestled in valleys that opened up to the Mediteranean Sea. We drove over many bridges that lead to tunnel's that lead to another bridge and another tunnel... we certainly went THROUGH the mountains today!
