Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Roulette and Romance

  Monte Carlo, Monaco
Saturday, May 14, 2005

Travelled from Nice by train to the principalty of Monaco, with highest GDP per capita in the world and they went and named a street after 'moi' isn't that nice!




Monte Carlo, had sunshine and the rain, Roulette and the one armed bandits machines I played on, wonderful rich men driving their porsche down to the shop to get their baguette and a coach full of bored retired tourists decked out in shorts, white trainers and a raincoat. Why I had not thought to bring one?


Lastly this place had Romance, the scenery, the smell of roses, the feel that it was so safe. But wait I was forgetting how wonderfully they planned this city, escalators outside on the street to help us a little, 'escaliers' which were actually secret subway for pedestrians and no metro in sight, but a way to easily get around the hilly landscape of Monaco. This was such a wonderful trip and only all in one day.
