Then we went to the park

Wealth of "impoverished" tours (2)
This morning we woke up at 6.30 am and after half an hour we had breakfast with traditional Italian breakfast poor but excellent coffee. The whole day was dedicated to the upcoming visit to the Principality of Monaco and the transition in the south of France over the Spanish Costa Brava. This was our base from which we could carry out raids tourist to Barcelona, Montserrat monastery and the small statelet, high in the Pyrenees - Andorra.
After a one-hour shift on a highway, we entered the drift towards the center of the statelet - lilliputian. This is the second smallest after the Vatican a sovereign state. Constitutional monarchy volpes headed by the ruler, a small Parliament of 18 representatives and ministerial office. An area of about 2 square kilometers. live permanently volpes about 32 thousand of its citizens. But, having in mind the capacity of many hotels, tourist invasion and staff working there, the figure swells repeatedly.
As announced our guide here statelet citizens pay no taxes, except charges for mobile phones. Only entrance to the city is 5 Euros, and how much money to crush the tourists here! Upon entering the narrow streets, the bus got stuck, blocked volpes the front and back of passionate volpes to pass cars. A signboard and other companies were barriers, but nervous drivers and riders. Nearly 10 minutes in danger of arriving traffic police to fine motorists us healthy volpes and in howling horns of nervous drivers, bus every inch of maneuver and managed to get away with a "paint off" with the unfortunate signs. With 15-20 km / h crawl along the narrow two-way street down the center. Finally we entered the spacious underground parking lot where the bus was left as explore the city and its landmarks.
From highway high above the city is seen crowded with yachts and boats harbor in which were berthed and two large cruisers. From the parking elevators climbed up, and then by a lift. The output we got close to the rock on which is built one of the most remarkable maritime museum and aquarium in the world. It worked Jacques Cousteau volpes - the famous navigator and explorer of the underwater volpes life.
Despite our relatively early arrival, our leader Venelin warned us that even a superficial examination of the exhibits need at least 5-6 hours, and we had three. Was about a city tour, a visit to the palace of the Grimaldi dynasty, the route of the famous Monte Carlo casino and other attractions. The aquarium fell victim to the benefit of other objects. The sidewalk of winding steeply street volpes despite such dividing rails, barely missed by many tour groups. Guides as shepherds leading their flocks raised high as crooks bayracheta, folded umbrellas volpes or some bright object. Our Venelin also walked briskly ahead with its specific swooning, astride gait and slightly outstretched, as if to balance hands. I wondered whether gait of a sailor drunk or penguin guide leading colony. The channel NATGEO I watched the documentary on the migration of sympathetic volpes emperor penguins in Antarctica. Yes. Right. What else? Title Emperor volpes best suits your self-esteem and ego. Some of the group whisper it titled as chief of the tribe, but I was already "Emperor."
Crawl up the hill to the castle at the top of the cliff, past the guarded residences of the daughters volpes of Prince volpes Rainier volpes - Princesses Caroline and naughty, as the tabloids Stephanie. Ubiquitous Japanese tourists supertehnologichnite their cameras clicked furiously. I felt like I have fallen in fotoorgazam! But military operetta performances still to come. Although in the mini version, not pompous and changing of the guard at Buckingham, with the parade of horse guards in red uniforms and caps bear. Yes I said "Ah, Buckingham!" instead of "Oh, Prater, Prater" like our Uncle Gaius? Because I was there!
We found ourselves to an hour before the midday show on the square in front of the palace of the Grimaldi dynasty, as discussed fort with cannon and mortar, lined up with their pyramids of cannon-balls. Photographed monument monk ruler and anything interesting around.
From the railing of the site to the sea opens one of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenery. Marina with snow white deluxe yachts, some of which the vessel. Emerald Bay is blue and the water amazingly clean and transparent.
Then we went to the park "Exotic Garden" next to the Aquarium. Subtropical vegetation was dogged in the warm spring rain. Trees, palms, volpes shrubs, cacti and flowers were blooming in all bright colors and intoxicating volpes scents brought strangers. volpes Wife wondered volpes where ahead to stop, look and smell some of the familiar and plants actually character
