This is the Ferrari car I saw at Monaco. Brrooommm, broooomm……. Smart and elegant car by the way.
Now is time for me to test you:
If Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, then which country is the SMALLEST country in the world?
That’s is my second and final part of Monaco. Do follow me for my next destination.

Monaco, officially the Principality of Monaco is the second smallest country in the world. It is located on the Mediterranean Sea along the French Riviera, which is the southern coast of France. Monaco is 18 kilometers east of the French city of Nice and near the border with Italy. (OK! A little brief of geography to understand where is the location of Monaco)
The name “Monaco” means “of the old town” which was derived from the ancient Greek Monoikos and it is usually associated with Hercules, the mythical hero.



Port of Hercules, La Condamine – Well known for its distinctive wide harbour and moored expensive yachts.


Out of most of the Casino, this is the only Casino we afford to enter as it doesn’t require any entrance fee.

>Just came back from movie “The Tourist” at Suria Sabah with TTM.
It is our first movie for the Year 2011.
The other things that I amazed in this movie was the place of this movie being shot; which was in Venice, Italy. Venice is one of my favourite place when travelling around Europe.

View of the Piazza dei Miracoli
While the Leaning Tower is the most famous image of the city, it is one of many works of art and architecture in the city’s Piazza del Duomo, which is also known as Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles). The Piazza del Duomo also houses the Duomo (the Cathedral), the Baptistry and the Camposanto Monumentale (the monumental cemetery).
Florence
Florence is known as the “cradle of Renaissance” for its monuments, churches and buildings. Florence get its name from flourishing or flower, as it being known as city of flowers. We start our day with walking tour with the local guide, which means our Miss Sarah will have her off day on that day. We start our tour with Santa Croce. Basilica of Santa Croce or known as Basilica of the Holy Cross is the burial place of great Italian artist, Michelangelo.
Basilica of Santa Croce
Santa Maria del Fiore, known as the Duomo Catheral
Uffizi Gallery, one of the oldest and famous art museums in the world. Here, you can see Michelangelo sculpture outside the museum.
The narrow courtyard between the Uffizi’s two wings creates the effect of a short, idealized street
Michelangelo
Leornado Da Vinci
Ponte Vecchio Bridge, one unique bridge
Touch this wild board, and you will return to Florence again
Pigeons are looking at us
Florence is famous for its shopping especially leather. So if you walk around, you will find lots of leather products such as bag, belt, jackets and shoes as they are selling at a lower prices in Florence than in other Italian cities. However, most of it was fake and it looks alike our own Malaysia’s Petaling Street. Although it is fake, the products that they sold was not really cheap. Almost cost RM400 for a small LV bag. Better go buy at Petaling Street.
