Wednesday, Sept. 14th – Liz, Susan and I rode the Hop On Hop Off bus all around Monaco. We survived the narrow streets up to the Royal Palace. We got off the bus and visited the church, Saint Nicholas Cathedral which was built in 1875. The church is famous for having the tombs of Princess Grace and Prince Ranier side by side. Princess Grace has flowers all over her tomb. Then we walked around looking at shops. Liz found a few things to buy. We jumped back on the crowded bus. Susan looked up the stairs for empty seats and then told us that the rest of the old broads were riding on the top. As soon as the bus unloaded we went upstairs and rode around the whole bus route. We didn’t go into the casino as everything was so busy we just wanted to go back and have Happy Hour on the ship.
Was it hot on top of the bus?
I remember touring the palace and learning that Grace’s grave was the only one that always has flowers. I wonder if Reiner decided that, sort of like DiMaggio sending a rose to Marilyn every day.
