Our Travel Experience

 
Monaco will be memorable for it's nice views and wonderful aquarium.  
 
We didn't want to stay in an expensive hotel, even though 75% of Monaco's hotel were 5 star and above according to the Yahoo travel guide we read. We therefore ended up staying in xxx instead of Monte Carlo. Our neighborhood had a nice walking street ending in a spectacular harbor. 
 
Monaco reminded us on Hong Kong. It had many public evelators and escalators just like Hong Kong since it is a city built into a mountain at the edge of the water. 

We were lost the first night and also discovered how many video cameras are located in all the public places. 

 
 
The aquarium was very impressive! 
 
 
Even though visiting the Air France office at the heliport didn't help us get our tickets home sorted out - the walk there offered magnificent views. And, since we were at one end of the coutry and we had an extra 10 minutes, we decided to take the bus all the way to the other end of the country and then double-back to our desired destination of the casino. 
 
 
 

The casino and surrounding garden were impressive.  
 
 

We had some varied food in Monaco also. Chinese the first night that was actually tasty. Before we got our food, Tara vowed that if it wasn't tasty, she was not going into another Chinese restaurant outside of America. We often have mediocre food when we choose a Chinese restaurant. We think it is because American Chinese that we are used to is significantly different than true Chinese.
