Hotel Acropole Nice

Monaco was unbelievable. I was awestruck most of the time by the fact that I was actually in Monte Carlo! Immaculate streets and gardens/parks, very clean. Designer labels and fashionable people everywhere. So small in area that every available inch of land is consumed, but still so much traffic. Amazing hills and views. The selection of photos show it best than I could describe - i took heaps of pics, so these are just a selection, but still a lot ...

... the most beautiful boats in the world are in MonteCarlo...

Language is more interesting in france. If we try to do the simple tourist things then most people can work out what is going on but when we try something else eg. going to the doctor (sue has been sick) going to a chemist.. or finding a Laundamatt.. then the language thiig is a bit more animated....

have some grat pics of Nice and French Rivierra to show when we get home...

... Monday’ by the Bangles at the airport. Too true...

12hrs after i checked out of my Barcelona hotel, i am in Monte Carlo!!!!! Luckily got the last bus from the Nice airport to Monaco. Amazing bus trip here. I think i was wide-eyed and jaw dropped for much of it. Although it is night, you can see some amazing views, yachts and cross some bridges with HUGE drop-offs down into the coastal valley. The streets truly are Grand Prix style. Can't wait to ...

POLSKI:
Ile razy bylismy w uroczym miasteczku Villefranche na francuskim Lazurowym Wybrzezu, tyle razy chcialam pojechac do Monaco. Moj grafik jednak mi na to nie pozwalal. Tym razem spielam sie w czasie i zaraz po porannej pracy pobieglam na dworzec kolejowy. Pociag do Monte Carlo, w obie strony, kosztowal mnie cale 5 Euro, a jazda trwala 15-20 minut. Widoki sliczne, ale najlepsza byla jednak Starowka Monte Carlo oraz samochody ...

... at 9am. She was such a trooper! She was ready to hit the ground running so we headed out to do a little sight-seeing and planned to rest up at the beach in the afternoon.

Sunday - we all planned to split up and regroup at the beach. I needed to do a little shopping, Abby wanted to go to a museum, and Jennifer was going to walk around a bit and head to the beach. When Jennifer and I arrived in the town center, we realized that everything is ...

... looking yachts were moored.

After that we descended via another collection of countless steps, and fortunately ended up where we wanted to be (we weren't too sure for a while there). We had lunch, then visited Garibaldi Square, which was nice. We then saw the Acropolis, which is a big ugly building, and decided we’d seen enough of Nice, and headed back to our hotel.

... that my hostel room wasn´t even close to booked, it ended up to be just me. A 6 bed dorm room and I had it all to myself, not bad. I went out for a bite to eat and pretty much called it a night. Until the storm blew in. I was sitting in my room reading and started to hear the thunder. I thought it might be nice to take a walk, even though it was raining. I sat and watched the lightning light up the entire sky over the Med for about an hour. It was really cool ...

My goodness was this morning wonderful...I slept in until 2 pm and really got to catch up on what I was lacking from the night before...and from the whole trip might I add. I didn't realize how tired I was until I just couldn't get up! When I finally got up out of my bed, I plopped on the couch and started watching some TV. I made myself some scrambled eggs...yummy!!! Once again, one of the best meals ...
