Monaco

November 27, 2015March 13, 2020 By Ramblin' Randy

Monaco, We Have a Problem: About This Blog Entry
It’s hard for even me to believe that there was a time in my life when travel didn’t excite me. But there was.

There was actually a period of my life, when I would travel–mostly cruises, with my family–that I didn’t have that travel “bug;” that unquenchable thirst for exploration, to see it all, as much as I could. I didn’t dislike traveling, but I think I didn’t carry even ten percent of the enthusiasm I have today, maybe because the travel was simply too organized. Piling off a cruise ship with 1,000 other American tourists and getting on a bus to see the main square for three hours never really did it for me. Of course, I’d soon discover my true passion for travel: going solo to off-the-beaten-track places to see things most have never even dreamed of…and well, you know the rest of the story.

Anyway, my trip to Moncaco in 2012 was one of those “hop off the cruise ship for a couple hours” visits. I had a lovely time because I was with my dear mother, and I certainly didn’t dislike my stop here…but this was well before my real passion for travel was conceived, hence the reason I don’t have much of a “story.” I did take a few photographs though, so I hope you enjoy.

For more in-depth tales of adventures and exploration, please visit other articles on this website…I have lots to show you!

Dinner as we pulled into Monaco. A beautiful evening!
I enjoyed seeing the mega-yachts moored at the harbor in Monaco. I was told that a slip here will cost you $40,000 per day!
I did take a walk up the hill and venture inside the word famous Monte Carlo Casino…I even played some slots! House always wins.
