Day Seven - France

So we have now officially been to the two smallest countries in the world - the Vatican City & Monoco. While we docked at the port at Villefrance, we spent our day in Monoco & a small village up in the mountains called Eze. Both were places that appeared to be out of a storybook. The Grand Prix was a week away in Monoco, but there were old time cars racing out on the track - the sound reverberated through the whole valley and we weren't able to visit Monte Carlo because of closed streets. Eze is a 12th century Medieval village built on the top of a hill that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. The views were gorgeous...we visited a botanical garden at the top of the hill and saw Cannes off in the distance. Yet again, these pictures do not do justice!
