MONACO monte carlo (gambling my savings away. . .)
monte carlo! i really had no idea what to expect, besides the fact that the casino there is world-famous. the hour long bus ride only cost 1.30 euro, so it was worth a day trip from nice. and again, i fell asleep and woke up past my stop. . .i gotta stop doing this but it is just so hard for me to stay awake during car rides. but then it becomes an adventure in itself so i don’t mind.
on a sunny hillside, the town itself was really pretty in a very touristy kind of way. this is one place where you can really tell there are wealthy visitors year-round. for example, the area around the casino was ridiculous. the artificially green and impeccably maintained walkways gave it a surreal look, which matched the cars displayed out front. maseratis, jaguars, bentleys. . .and any top of the line car. the casino itself was real pretty, and the 5 euro i gambled away was worth it.
this would be the first place on my trip where i visited just to say i have been. the day was hot and the ocean was sounding amazing, so after some time walking along the water i peaced right back to nice.
