Monaco Day Two

IMG_1056 IMG_1081 IMG_1085 Today we headed straight for the Palais de Prince.  They have a changing of the guards at 11:55 daily.  It turned out to be your typical ceremony and although it is still May, much pushing and shoving for photo opportunities by all the tour groups.

Then we just wandered the back streets and found some great overlooks of Fontvielle Marina and got this great photo of Jay Sea Dee (on the farthest left pier, right side, dark canvas top).  They have an actual walking tour about Princess Grace.  Here was a stop with a photo of her wedding…just beautiful.  Then we went to the Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium.  The building is gorgeous especially from the harbor view and was built in 1910.  Jacque Cousteau was part of the construction process.
