The Principality of Monaco was our 4th stop on the Spring 2016 cruise with Silverseas.  Next to the Vatican, Monaco is the smallest country on Earth, covering only 462 acres in land mass. On the video shown below, we were standing on an old fort above the city, actually in France.  As the video closes, you can see mountains off in the distance which are in Italy.  The highlight of our all day tour was the Grand Casino, which still is the primary income for the city of Monte Carlo.  We also toured the homes and graves sites of Princess Grace and the royal family.  The cost of living is insane.  Only millionaires need apply for residency.  Shown above is Trina standing in the great hall of the casino, the only room photos and videos are allowed.  If you want to go inside and gamble, have at least $10,000 on you.
