August 24, 2014 : the Europe sightseeing trip went from Milan, Italy into the Italian-French border:

  • briefly in French territory (for land #13)
  • crossed into Monaco (for land #14)

"highlights"

  • went inside the Monte Carlo betting house to look around:
    • did not play at all
    • had no liking for the "stuffiness"
  • walked along the roads on the hilly landscape
  • not much to write home about (mainly a playground for the rich)
  • will likely never come here again

trip markers

  • 14th "lifetime country"
  • 8th "European country"
  • 6th "mainland European country"
  • 1st time in Monaco
  • 2nd "micro-state"
    • after Vatican City
