30 June 2013 Monte Carlo

Sunday morning and we are anchored off Monaco.  Another stunningly beautiful day.  We were not doing a tour today, so we got ourselves organised down to the dining room to await our turn on the tender.  The ship’s staff do such an amazing job of everything honestly do not know how they do what they do for the price, beyond me.  We did not have to wait very long for our tender, a lovely crossing and straight into the town.  Perfectly lovely place certainly the place for the very rich and famous.  We me up with Yvonne and Warren and continued on through the gardens then up to the Palace and square, very fairytale indeed.  We ran into Heather and Ray from our table and they had just been thru the Palace so we did that as well. We then awaited the Changing of the Guard and then the four of us found a lovely restaurant and had pizza and a beer Yvonne and I had a coffee as well, had a look at the Cathedral where Princess Grace and Prince Rainer married on the 16^th April,1956.  After this we took a lovely walk and went thru the Aquarium which is housed in the most beautiful building, I know I say this about them all but it is true each one being as beautiful if not more so than the one before.   We wandered back to the tender and anor lovely journey back to the ship.  Love to all  Sabine and Sam  XXX
