Monaco

On the Sunday I stopped in Monaco for a few hours on my way back to Milan.  Monaco is it's own country, 2nd smallest to Vatican City.  It is still a monarchy run by the Grimaldi family.  Famous for Princess Grace Kelly, an American actress turned princess.  I visited the state apartments which house the royal family's art collection.  There is a video at the end of this post of the castle.

At 11:55 every day you can watch the changing of the guards.  To be honest, it was pretty boring and you had to be there like an hour early just to be able to see anything.
