The narrow streets of the Fortress...just turn right & then left & you'll find the restaurant? Looks like everyone got the same instructions as me?

Our first French meal (poisson) fish & then dessert with pastry & cream & yumminess...is that a word?

The boys compare notes about dessert...how do the French stay thin?

It's is the start of the famous Grand Prix of Monte Carlo & we drove the entire course. It's the hardest & most dangerous in the world, but also the most well patronised. Please look at the girl on the back of the bike...she's watching a movies on her phone while the driver weaves through the traffic...what the!

That is a sea of very expensive marine craft.

This is the Hotel de Paris...very famous, very expensive & very beautiful. Every room is named after a city.

And outside is a car park of expensive vehicles, which made me wonder why they bother because they could not drive on some of the small streets in not just Monaco, but Italy or France. Nice to look at though.

This is the famous Casino Monte Carlo...no photo's inside, no backpacks...I asked what was allowed inside & the concierge said 'money'!

This is truly a magical place & I could spend a lot more time looking around, but we are off to our next destination...

Had to put this in...it's just a Lamborghini...& it needs a wash...well I never!!
