Photo Contest – April 15, 2011
Last week’s winner of the photo contest was Ellen Getzik. She was the first to correctly identify the photo (below) as being located in the principality of Monaco. The yellow submarine stands in front of the Oceanographic Institute.
Rub Elbows with the Rich and Famous
Monte Carlo is a tiny part of Monaco which is a tiny part of Europe. Fans of gambling, Grace Kelly or Formula 1 auto racing wll enjoy their visit. It has a spectacular harbor with yachts nearly as large as your cruise ship. You can get a great picture of the harbor from the gardens of the casino. Ships that visit Cannes and Nice will offer excusions to Monte Carlo. I forgot to mention that the world championship of backgammon is held here each year. Don’t miss it! If you’re planing to watch the Monaco Grand Prix, we’ll be happy to book a room for you at the Hotel De Paris. It’s only steps from the casino and will only set you back $6000 per night. You’re now paying close to $4.00 a gallon for gas. If you want to visit your gas money, go to the Casino de Monte Carlo.
