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
