The
Lady Moura,
one of most exculsive and biggest private yachts (a third as long as a US
super aircraft carrier) |
![](Lady_Moura_03_small.jpg) |
I got the Lady Moura
even closer. The helicopter on the roof is pretty handy. On both sides there
are huge hangars for cars, motoboats etc. The last open on the left side is
actually a balcony with can be lowered while the yacht is in the harbour. |

Of course there were
also other yachts around. |

Monaco, a fantastic
arena for a Formula One Grand Prix |

Monte Carlo, with the
duke where the duke lives. On the slope you see hundereds of people who got
a free "seat". |
![](Monaco_12_small.jpg) |
The view from the
free seats is actually the best one can get (one only has to pay by being
there very, very early in the morning) |

The warm-up round
(Sauber Petronas #8, Philipp Massa, BRA). A Formula One race is an
experience not to be missed. Neither the speed of the cars nor the sound
from hell can be appreciated on TV! |

Of course there were
also yachts in the habor of Monaco! |

Some of the yachts
from a little bit closer (some of them had been chartered by corporate
sponsors but others were used by their owners) |

One last view before
I had to head back to Nice! It was a fantastic weekend and the Côte d'Azur
literally lived up to its name. |
