The first stop on our Mediterranean cruise was Monaco. Unfortunately it was raining when we arrived. Even with the clouds, we had a fabulous view from the balcony in our room. We made guesses on how much that giant yacht cost. What’s your guess? The opera house below is part of the famous Monte […]
