After scaling Monaco’s steep terraced steps, glossy escalators and shining marble corridors tunnelling thru the rocks to a collection of free public lifts running up and down the hillside ( not to mention crossing the 3D road system encircling its soaring high rises.

), you might be excused for thinking you are within a life-size MC Escher illustration of an illusionary maze. French is the official language, though many street signs, especially in the old Monaco Ville quarter, are in French and Mongasque, and youngsters of all 107 nationalities that form Monaco’s population are required to observe the language at college.

Neither is Monaco part of the ECU , but due to its close ties with France it takes part in the ECU customs territory, and there are no border rituals crossing from and to France. Monaco’s manicured streets presided over by palaces and its lush fountained parks are eminently safe due to a fertile police presence backed up by plain-clothed patrollers and omnipresent CCTV cameras.

Monaco is most known for its glamorous Monte Carlo casino, Formula One vehicles roaring thru the streets during its glamorous Grand Prix, and the stimulating lives of its glamorous Royal Family, the Grimaldis.

Buckingham Palace Virtual tour

This couple of Virtual tours caught my attention on the Australian Version of SKY News – the had about 40 seconds dedicated to them!

These tours are a feature of the brand new website – The QE2.0 I suppose, which replace the old website which has been going since 1996.

With around 100 million hits a year it’s certainly got the potential to raise the profile of our craft.

Present at the launch was Sir Tim Berners-Lee, credited with inventing the world wide web, who had flown in from the US to insist in person that the site represented a great resource enabling anyone from Britain or abroad to find out how the monarchy worked. Media footage about the new site is certainly more interested in the “virtual room” technology than anything else.

The tours were created by Will Pearson and you can view a BBC video here.
