First port of call, Monte Carlo, Monaco. It is a beautiful city, built on a hill. We decided to explore on our own instead of taking a guided tour. We had a great time. This first picture is across the port as we were leaving the ship.
We had to stop and get a picture of Mike in front of the Yacht Club. The old structures in the background are where we ended up heading next.
Of course before we got too far Mike had to study the map to see where we wanted to go. Because the map wasn't that great or clear we walked farther than we intended, but enjoyed seeing the sights.
We climbed the hill on a very long ramp to see the Prince's Palace. This picture is a panaromic view of the harbor from part way up the path.
Here is another view of the harbor. The day was simply beautiful, clear. Just perfect to enjoy the city.
When we got to the Palace at the top this was the guard walking infront of the entrance.
After leaving the entrance area we came upon this beautiful church. We sat in the shade for a drink and to enjoy the view.
While at the top, Mike had to try to get one of the cannon balls. There were cannons and these stacks of balls along the wall. 
The is the path going back down. As you can see it was fairly steep.
And finally, this is sunset as we were leaving port that night. If you look closely you can see another cruise ship on the horizon.
