Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo Monte-Carlo

... or as they say, American) style gaming.

I had a relaxing time. Bit of shopping, eating, drinking and walking around just admiring the wealthy end of the world. It is expensive tho. Meals and drinks are way over-priced (about $17 aussie for a Johnny Walker & coke!). You even have to pay to use the toilet at the shopping centre and main tourist areas. I won some money at the main casino, then lost it (and some more) at the hotel ...

Have had fun in France. Nice is interesting and the beautiful water of the mediterranian was great to woke up to... Mick went for a swim !! we caught a train to Cannes and we looked around all the exclusive spots but noone we knew... just rich people and us tourists..
we also went to Montecarlo.. fantastic.. even swa a kart race in Monaco... had a look at the MonteCarlo Casino.. impressive if only for the flashy cars and people with too much cash ...

... didn't charge me. They do if the delay is less than 2 hrs. So instead of the 4:25pm flight, I am getting the 8:15pm. Annoying because I miss seeing Nice in daytime and the train ride to Monaco is supposed to be excellent views over the Mediterranean.

So, today has basically been in transit. Saw some good views from the plane window of the Swiss Alps (at least I think that’s what those mountains were).

Hahahaha, they are playing ...

... met with the company my group is consulting for yet and I probably shouldn't post the company name due to privacy issues, but it is a luxury men's tailored suit company headquartered in Paris. I am very excite to meet with them and get some practical experience.

... Cuda! I jeszcze zatrzymywaly sie, zeby Cie przepuscic - zanim nawet zdazylas dojsc do pasow. Mialam bardzo malo czasu, ale to, co zobaczylam, przekonalo mnie, ze to nie moj ostatni raz w Ksiestwie Monako.

ENGLISH:
Every time we were in the picturesque town of Villefranche in the French Azur Coast, I always wanted to travel to Monaco. My schedule though wouldn`t let me do it. That day I managed with the time and straight ...

... no edge on this bet. For this reason and this reason alone is why ***** is a favorite game among experienced gamblers. (See the pic in this entry.)

The second lesson for teaching me ***** is probably the most important. I was taught and shown very clearly in *****, and all other gambling games to, that the only thing that controls the game play is probability, chance and cold hard facts. There is absolutely no mystical force called luck ...

... entire day, I expected to either see someone very rich and famous or a character out of a James Bond movie, the place is so lush and incredible. The lifestyle here leads me to wonder, where do you vacation when you live in a place like Monte-Carlo? Do you really need to vacation at all? I can't imagine ever waking up and being completely used to surroundings like that.


We made our way back to the train station ...

... recommend it. Since the buses run on liquid gold it would be rude not to try it too.



Wandering through the quaint streets of Monaco-Ville showed another side to the principality, something of a feeling of homeliness, an inviting side that escapes the obvious and somewhat intimidating wealth of the Monte Carlo Casino and the Café de ...

... the boat, has a casino, library, two very nice restaurants, pool, lounges, spa, training room (yeah, like i need it) place to hit golf balls into a net, etc..etc.  everything you need.  Our doorbell rang and there were two pieces of cake...one said, happy birthday....the other...happy honeymoon.  I knew then this was going to be a good trip.  We had dinner and called it an early night with rome waiting in the morning.  it was the perfect birthday.
