Monaco from the Bateau Bus
A fun way to see Monaco is on the Bateau Bus - the solar powered electric ferry that crosses the harbour and all it costs is 1.50 euros. An easy and cheap way to pretend you own a super yacht!
On the day I took this (end of June) - you can see ominous clouds hung low over the la Tete du Chien (Head of the Dog) with only pinponts of sunlight on the buildings.

The NEW Monaco Yacht Club - the Pool
Looking from the top deck of the new Monaco Yacht Club, we see the pool and on the car side of Port Hercule, a cruise ship. The yacht club is so like a cruise ship itself that sometimes it's difficult to remember it isn't!

The NEW Monaco Yacht Club
We're at the new Monaco Yacht Club today. There is a restaurant on this level and another on the highest level. As you can see, it's built like an ocean liner. See this POST.

Nice, not Monaco!
Don't panic! This isn't Monte Carlo! It's Nice yesterday where police were out in force to prevent a 'Free Palaestine' protest from entering Avenue Jean-MĂ©decin.

The NEW Monaco Yacht Club
The new Monaco Yacht Club is finally open. Looks like a cruise liner, doesn't it? It had its grand opening on the 20th June with 3,000 guests including the Princely family of course.
It was designed by the studios of leading British architect, Lord Norman Foster, in collaboration with Monaco-born architect, Alexandre Giraldi, and is the new headquarters for the Monaco Yacht Club (YCM).
It was a grey day when I took this photo, but a few days ago, I went there for lunch and the sun shone! Next time we'll explore the building...

Monte Carlo Daily Photo is undergoing a slight change. It will now be published less often, probably a couple of times a week, hence the change of name to Monte Carlo Weekly Photo. I need to organise my time better in order to work on my book about Gorbio. Hope my loyal and much appreciated Monte Carlo follows will understand.
