Miramar Hotel Monte-Carlo

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 ...

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 ...

... tomorrow. The hotel is the flashest i have ever stayed at. There was a gala ball on tonight and some famous people (tv cameras here and all!). I didn't recognise anyone tho. Had a drink at the bar to soak up the atmosphere. My view is fantastic.

Not going to update the travel blog for a few days while I enjoy the relax time in Monte Carlo. Will summarise it all with photos once I’m on my way to Italy. Here’s hoping the weather shines for me.

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 ...

... Lots of Paris Hilton look alikes walking about in all the fancy shops. Bob and I found a little train that took 30 minutes to loop around Monaco....which is a mile long and 900 yards wide! A big yacht show out in the harbor would make the yachts in Nantucket look like rowboats...they were ridiculously large:) I managed to get up to the cathedral which was the burial place of Princess Grace of Monaco and her husband..they are actually buried in ...

... form of assumptions on gambling, or even with the supernatural like astrology, Reike and religious miracles will always lose their power to cold hard logic, critical reasoning, science and boring unenthusiastic numbers. Sadly, in gambling, just like in religion and sports, there is much more attention given to superstition and the supernatural instead of to probability, reason and facts.

One time in particular I had my newly developing understanding ...

... and I was sitting in French class, showered and all, by 9:45 A.M. I’d call that a successful weekend.

The plan is to visit Paris this coming weekend for the Journées du Patrimoine, where many attractions are free, and other buildings and events that are usually never open to the public actually are. After that, who knows? I've started quite a wish list, but I'd welcome any suggestions for trips!

... paying the entrance fee to escape to the top floor, where the views are superb. I tried to make-out the Formula One circuit, recognising parts of the track as I took in the views back down across Monte Carlo, and imagined racing and taking the chequered flag in this most impressive setting of all for a motor race. I then picked out my future ...

... very quaint inlet.  we ate lunch there, both having small thin crust pizza's, mine with ham and mushrooms, Julie had olives and anchovies.  
After getting back we went to the pool for a few hours, then got ready for Eze.
Eze was amazing.  The views were spectacular.  We ate dinner there ate a lovely restaurant with unreal views.  Cab ride back and when we got back, they had fireworks in ...
