Some nice shots there Bob. Like the Greek soldiers and was impressed by the 
heightened overview you get from one of those tall cruise ships.

Mind you, I was surprised by the rise in price of admission to Monaco's 
Casino as I think it used to cost about 50 francs or equiv 8 euro when I 
went there in the nineties and early noughties. That said, I only went in 
low tourist season January for an annual conference, so it may have been 
cheaper then. I still remember a very nice gesture I received while staying 
in Monte Carlo.

I hailed a bus at the stop near the hotel and enquired in my excerable 
French whether he went near the Grand Prix circuit. He said "Non" then asked 
where I was from. I told him Ireland where Princess Grace had a holiday 
home. He grinned & said "Hop in" and promptly left his bus route and drove 
me around as much of the circuit as he could!
