Lookouts

It's a rare sight to see one Ferrari in a day. It's even more rare to see six, all lined up next to each other. But this is the norm in Monaco where luxuries in this small city-state are vast. The architecture and attention to detail is quite impressive along with its infamous hotels and casino in Monte Carlo.

We were dropped off at a high point which overlooked the majority of Monaco. It was early in the morning and the air was refreshing. But as the day grew, so did the amount of tourists. It became hard to walk through the quaint streets and almost impossible to take a photo without a million strangers in the middle of it.




So perfect it almost looks fake.

Le Musée Océanographique de Monaco was the most fun I had in Monaco actually. Apart from the unique looking fish, we spent a long time admiring the outside of this building.

The fish in the aquarium have quite the vista...

On top of the aquarium. Don't think I don't have friends who could instead take this photo for me- I do!! I find it amusing to try to capture some of the background with myself after 25 tries. This one made the cut.

The next stop was Èze, a village that overlooks the South Eastern coast of France and the Mediterranean. This village is built up on the French Alps and has the most magnificent view. We hiked up the small winding streets to get to the top and this is what we saw:

Kind of at a loss for words for this place. 

A little higher up.

Apart from the view and the biggest cacti garden I've ever seen before, Èze has artists and delicious little cafés. This place is a hidden gem and I will surely be back here again.
