I wasn't supposed to leave France, but come on! Monte-Carlo was a 15 minute train ride from Nice, how could I possibly pass that up?
The prince's palace. It can only be toured when the Prince is out-of-town as he still lives there.

They also have a small zoo... you can even buy food to feed to the animals. It was kind of odd to see this Hippo begging for cookies. This huge guy just stood next to the wall with his mouth wide open waiting for you to throw him a cookie. Once you threw it in there, its hard to believe that he would actually notice a tiny little cookie.
The Exotic Gardens
While the gardens were definitely exotic, it consisted of mostly cactus plants. Danielle and I found ourselves more interested in the cave that was hidden underneath it.
Grand Prix
Before you get too jealous, we missed it. And, its not like we could afford to go to it anyway. I think the cheapest ticket was 70 euro.

Even though you didn't go to the Grand Prix, just the fact that you were that close makes me jealous.
