Monaco Travel photography part XIII

In Nice, France we visited a perfume factory, were we witnessed part of the perfume processing, extracting essences from flowers, roots, leaves, and different plants; a process of boiling water with the ingredients, then the vapors are collected in a serpentine to condense and then collected to an oil deposit. A regular perfume contains 24% of oil scent and 76% of alcohol. An Eau of Toilet has only 6% of oil; and 94% of alcohol. They flowers, roots, herbs, and plats from all over the world.

Later we are heading to Monaco an independent city state that houses the royalty, among them the Prince Rainier, his castle is situated at the top of a hill, also is the fortress at the edge of the mountain, it has a romantic view of the Nice bay-side. The guard change takes place at noon in the entrance to the palace, they have a colorful uniforms and making his ceremonial military release in small-scale only sixteen guards involved.
The streets of Monaco are very narrow some only five feet wide, there are several shops of jewelry, antiques, souvenirs, leather, and cloths. Prices are high, perhaps I should say expensive. Then I remember a conversation in the bus about expensive and cheap, because one of the students said: that he bought a pair of shoes very cheap, he said that he paid only 249 US dollars for them, I say that the word expensive related to price has different meanings for different people, because what is cheap for someone, may be expensive for me and viceversa.
