 The Dorman's are wandering around the Almalfi enjoying the breathing taking views

I am Speechless and temporary lost for words The Almalfi Region is one of the most alluring and gorgeous region in all of Italy.We love Positano and Sorrento dearly however these two towns are very expensive

 from our advantage point from across the bay of Naples we saw  Mount Vesuvius blowing flames it was a spectacular sight to behold

Because Monaco is the most expensive destination in the world  it was prudent of us to set up base in magical Nice where accommodation is affordable . We flew in from Barcelona via Ryan Air , we checked into our hotel  in Nice where we eat our hearts out . The  next day we were  ready to explore the beautiful city of Monaco. MONACO  IS A VERY SMALL  CITY JUST A COUPLE OF MILES LONG ,SO IT WAS EASY TO WANDER AROUND

I first came to Monaco with the bodacious Miss Miller since then I have revisited this alluring city 4 times . Today We spent the day walking almost the entire length of the country along the coast. We began by wandering through the Japanese Gardens. The Gardens is beautiful park just beside the sea towards the center of Monte-Carlo. The small, but incredibly well manicured park features ponds filled with fishes . The park is right along Avenue Princess Grace – the main street that spans the length of Monaco, so we stumbled upon it during our walk along the Mediterranean

       Sophia and I  continued walking towards the Prince’s Palace which sits on a hilltop overlooking the harbor. I loved the colorful homes nearby the palace.

The changing of the guards is one of the attractions you can enjoy for free but come early

The Prince’s Palace is in Monaco-Ville, a small city on a steep hilltop. The palace is in the center of a square, and the first thing you find once walking up the hill. The walk up the hill was a bit of a workout..
